Following the £500,000 upgrading of its fire testing facilities, Chiltern International Fire (CIF) continues its programme of investment and business development with the appointment of a dedicated marketing manager.

Graham Edwards joins CIF with more than 20 years’ experience in business-to-business, retail and consumer marketing and business management, within organisations ranging from multi-national corporations to smaller, privately-owned companies, covering brand development, media strategy, sponsorship, PR and corporate communications.

He will have marketing responsibility not only for Chiltern Fire, but also for subsidiary Chiltern Dynamics and the BM TRADA Q-Mark and BFRC schemes for windows and doors.

Chief Operating Officer Jon Osborn said Mr Edwards’ insight into both retail and business-to-business marketing would be invaluable to CIF in developing relationships with new and potential clients.
