Teresa Heath-Wareing, aged 35, of Shrewsbury, gained a BA Honours degree in marketing at Wolverhampton University and has since worked for prestigious firms such as Land Rover, HSBC and most recently a leading county design agency based in Shrewsbury.

Her new company, called THW Marketing & PR, will offer independent marketing advice and social media skills to help promote products and services for firms from across the region.

Teresa commented: “There is a continual and recognised growth in the business value of social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Linkedin.

“However, most companies do not have the time or in-house marketing staff to be utilising these outlets and other marketing tools consistently and to their full extent. My role will be to support firms in the day-to-day marketing of their business.

“This is a very exciting new venture for me and I am looking forward to engaging with the business community to help them thrive in this fast-changing digital age.
