Lintbells expands marketing team as rapid growth continues

The award-winning supplements firm Lintbells has expanded its marketing team as the company continues its rapid and significant growth in the animal health sector.

Recent graduate Kris Sonigra has joined the Hertfordshire-based company as a Marketing Assistant.  Kris (24), of Southgate, North London, gained his degree in Business Studies from the University of Hertfordshire during which he lived in Australia for a year as part of an exchange programme.

Kris will work alongside Anna Prest who won the Young Marketeer of the Year award at the prestigious Veterinary Marketing Association Awards 2012.  His role will include working on the company’s marketing and advertising campaigns as well as involvement with veterinary exhibitions such as BSAVA and BVNA Congresses.

Commenting on his appointment Kris said:  “This was a wonderful opportunity to join a dynamic company that has achieved so much since it was launched just over five years ago.  I love cats and dogs, especially Great Danes and Chihuahuas, so I really feel I am in my perfect job and look forward to playing my part in Lintbells’ ongoing success.”

Co-founder and Marketing Director of Lintbells John Howie said:  “We are delighted to have Kris on board and he joins at a very exciting time in the company’s development.  We are continuing to see substantial growth for our veterinary products and natural supplements, which shows no sign of stopping.

“Marketing is key to our success as we expand our product range and look to develop new markets globally. Kris’s appointment will help us accelerate the established relationships we have in the veterinary, and showing, working and companion dog fields as we continue to offer proven affordable health solutions in animal care.”

Lintbells was established in 2007 and produces the YUMEGA range of skin and coat supplements and the YUMOVE range of mobility and joint health supplements as well as a growing number of natural health and veterinary strength products for cats and dogs.
