NEW RECRUITS FOR KHP

Sports Marketing and Communications Agency, KHP Consulting, has announced five new recruits to its London HQ and Bahrain office.

Two of the new recruits defected from rival sports marketing and sponsorship agency, GEM Group (CSS Stellar).

Sport PR professionals Liz Brooks and Chris Welch have joined to carry out international PR for the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).

With more than five years sport and consumer PR experience, Brooks will also act as international PR support for the Shanghai International Circuit and the Formula BMW Final in Bahrain later this year.

Welch joins fellow new employee Bahraini Ali Alzayani and both are based in the Bahrain office. In addition to marketing support for BIC, they will also carry out a business development function.

In May the Bahrain team will be joined by event and hospitality manager, Holly Spring, as she transfers following three years based in KHP's London office.

Natalie Krushner takes on the newly created role of business initiator at the KHP London office. She joins from London-based sport hospitality specialists Iluka, having workded on a range of high profile sporting events.

Krushner is joined by former advertising sales professional, Ben Kirkland. Kirkland left the Wilmington Group after a two-year stint to join KHP London, working alongside the current business development team as sponsorship manager.
