The Blakedown Group are pleased to announce that Gilly Milne has rejoined the company after a year travelling. Gilly.s is taking up a new role of Business Development Manager.

This time last year Gilly was given the opportunity to travel round the world with her partner Craig who was playing rugby in America, New Zealand and Malaysia and then took the opportunity to visit other countries such as Fiji, Cambodia, Vietnam and China to name a few.

.It was an incredible trip, a real once in a life time dream which is great to have achieve. We experienced so many different cultures and did many amazing things but a couple of highlights were doing a 134m bungee jump in New Zealand and riding an elephant in Thailand..

With the travelling bug now out of her system, Gilly was looking for a new challenge and keen to rejoin the team at Blakedown Sport and Play. This new role will enhance the already dedicated teams within the Blakedown Group and follows another successful year which saw both Blakedown Sport & Play and Blakedown Landscapes move into new and larger premises.

.I am very much looking forward to developing this new role within the Blakedown Group and feel my experience from the previous 5 years in the industry will work well to continue Blakedown.s ever growing success..

Tony Hession, Sport and Play Commercial Director says, .With Gilly.s enthusiasm, dedication and commitment I.m sure she will succeed in this new and challenging role. We try and promote a team spirit and all the staff are pleased of her return. I.m confident Gilly will settle back in straight away and hit the ground running assisting the Blakedown Group achieving another successful year..
