Lighting, electrical and global power giant Luceco Group - which has a distribution centre on Stafford Park in Telford - has appointed Sarah Thompson as communications manager.

A highly-experienced communications specialist, Sarah has a wealth of international experience in media relations, communication, PR and campaign strategies, including roles at Goodyear Tyres and Volvo Cars, and extensive freelance experience with clients across varied sectors, including work with Capgemini, Northern Foods and Manchester United Football Club.
