New Marketing Manager for Playforce the UK's Premier Provider of School Playground Equipment
Playforce Ltd, the UK’s premier provider of playground equipment, has a dynamic new marketing manager.
Julia Budniak joins the Wiltshire-based company with an impressive background in marketing and brand management.
She aims to double the profits within 12 months and lobby the Government about poor health and fitness in the nation’s youngsters.
Julia has experience working in the media, finance, beauty, leisure and fitness industries. During previous jobs she has been responsible for developing marketing and finance strategies and has established extensive high profile contacts.
Personal fitness and sport is high on her personal as well as professional agenda and she sees this appointment as a way of sharing her passion.
“The health and fitness of youngsters has always been important to me and this company is passionate about the subject,” said Julia.
Playforce has an enviable track record of creating stimulating, safe, durable play environment that generations of children love.
I want Playforce to be a clear market leader and I plan to put children’s play high on the political agenda.
Playforce feels very strongly about the importance of play and play facilities and we are going to align the company more closely with schools and education. Active children are healthier and they learn and develop more successfully. Children are our future and we must invest in them.
In a similar way to Jamie Oliver making the Government face up to the issues of poor nutrition in schools, we intend to highlight the importance of children’s fitness at a national level.”
Since it was founded eight years ago with a £5,000 loan from the Prince’s Trust, Playforce has experienced phenomenal success, last year enjoying a £5 million turnover. With Julia at the marketing helm that success looks set to continue to grow.
“Julia’s enthusiasm, passion and energy reflect the ethos of this company,” said Edward Webb, Managing Director. “She has great plans that will not only benefit the company but hopefully the future of the whole nation.
