Ben

I've been part of the Damart team for over 12 years now, coming from a background already in clothing retail. Today I am responsible for the Damart UK marketing team and strategy. It's been fantastic to see the development of our business over the years I have been here, we've seen a significant amount of growth and a real shift internally to be digitally focused and with some serious ambitions for the coming years as we shift on our digital transformation; there are exciting times ahead! With this in mind, I think it's a really exciting place to work, we have strong ambitions for the future and this means lots of change to be involved in; no one day seems to be the same and there is a real sense of making things happen. Also, as you will see from some of my other colleague bio's we work in a great place for progression; having started as ecommerce manager I was later promoted to a senior manager and more recently to Marketing Director. Alongside this, my role has also gained international responsibilities; leading a digital ambassador programme across our group; working with colleagues across Europe to deliver digital best practice across a range of different businesses. In my spare time I'm a bit of a fitness enthusiast, if I'm not running up a hill somewhere in the Yorkshire dales, I'm riding up one on my bike instead! I also love travelling; experiencing new sights, cultures and most importantly to me; food!
