Chris, who lives in Sheffield, said: “Having studied for four years I am thrilled that I have joined a growing company where I can utilise and develop my skills. There is a great team here in the beautiful South Yorkshire countryside. This is a brilliant place to make my first steps into the industry.”
Capital B Media, which was set up by former BBC journalist Kate Betts in 2006, is based at Bullhouse Mill, near Penistone.
Kate added: “Chris’s appointment comes at a period of growth for the organisation and we are all delighted to welcome him to the team. I’m sure his skills and creativity will be of great benefit to our clients.”
