Meet the team

Annette Thornley

After joining the team in 2013 with a background working in field sales for The Nottingham Post, Annette leads our business development team here at Marketing Nottingham, working across the entire scope of the business and drawing in new clients from all areas of the region.
Her sales skills are second to none and with over a decade's experience on the team she's the wiz for all things Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, if Annette doesn't know it, it's probably not worth knowing. Outside of work Annette enjoys keeping active and particularly likes attending her regular spin classes throughout the week at her local leisure centre.
