Samantha Cooper

Business Development Manager

I am a proud Chartered Member (MCIM) of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and proudly serve as Business Development Manager at the firm. With over 20 years of experience in marketing/business development, I have had the privilege of working across a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, education, construction and FMCG.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong passion for delivering strategic marketing and business development initiatives that drive growth, strengthen brand positioning and build meaningful client relationships.

I specialise in marketing and business development strategies that focus on long-term brand positioning and relationship building. What I love most about my role is the opportunity to blend creativity with commercial thinking, developing campaigns and initiatives that not only look great but also deliver measurable impact for the business.

As an active member of the CIM, I continually develop my knowledge and expertise, ensuring that I remain at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.

A bit about me

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, rugby, Formula 1, travelling and theme parks.

If I were not in Business Development, I would be…

The proud owner of a lively honky-tonk bar, filled with live country music and hearty food.

If I were stranded on a desert island and could take three things with me, they would be…

  • Backward Barbie album by Dolly Parton

  • Emily in Paris (Netflix series)

  • A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
