NATIONAL and local contract wins have resulted in new jobs for a Northumberland marketing firm.

MBL Solutions, based in Cramlington, has added two business development managers to its team as part of its fast development this year.

Lizzie Millar has joined the team after working for four years in the private and public sectors, most recently for Sunderland University.

The other new recruit, Stuart Anderson, previously worked for Nigel Wright and Blumilk, and has experience working with everything from SMEs to multinationals.

MBL Solutions, which was set up 10 years ago, now deals with clients including Sainsburys, Debenhams, Primula, Thomsons and Langley Castle.

Managing director Oliver Stephens said: “It is an extremely exciting time for us as we experience substantial business growth. As a network of companies we are able to offer unrivalled, specialist expertise which is very attractive to growing companies in the North East and around the UK.”
