Some descriptionMartin Williams partner at The Happy Seven has taken the helm of the newly established Cornwall team of volunteers that currently operates as a sub group under CIM Devon and Cornwall. Martin is the region’s tourism ambassador and recently organised a very successful CIM South West Tourism Conference with the help of the local team notably, Judi Blakeburn, Micky Cox, Pippa Craddock and Carolyn Daw.

Martin explains: “CIM in the South West has done a terrific job of galvanising the desire among Cornwall’s marketers for a strong network for sharing, learning and meeting. I’m always impressed that marketers in this region are so keen to work together for mutual benefit, support and the greater good, and hopefully this new group will help facilitate that.”

Devon and Cornwall is the largest geographical sub-region in the South West and its sheer size has always presented challenges to local members – who have to travel up to two and a half hours to attend locally arranged events and meetings! The role of the group is to organise local skill, development and company share events in Cornwall for local marketers and to help raise the profile of CIM. The group, which established following a discussion on Linkedin, has attracted over a dozen keen members to generate ideas and organise future activities.

Next year’s series of events in the county will be announced soon.
