The appointment comes as the business gears up for its next phase of growth. Kelly will be responsible for overseeing all marketing activity for Newview including digital and printed marketing and PR.

Kelly comments: “Newview has a flawless reputation in the commercial market and around its local area but wants to become as well-known throughout the rest of the industry and further afield in the UK.
“I look forward to using my knowledge and expertise in marketing to promote the Newview brand and help further its plans for expansion.”

In the last year, Newview has also seen staff numbers rise to 45 and a milestone 120,000 windows have been fitted.
Michelle Wietscher – who owns the business with her partner Duncan Wietscher comments: “We want to promote our own products and services but also the main spirit of Newview and our passion for business. We feel there are a lot of businesses who could benefit from our services and Kelly will be crucial in spreading this message – particularly as we open our new trade counter and begin planning to open additional branches and depots around the UK.”
