Leeds-based digital agency Engage has appointed Ade Lingard to the board as Non-Executive Director.
Lingard, who has previously worked as Chief Operating Officer at marketing agency Jaywing, has been appointed to strengthen the board and support the agency’s growth plans and business strategies.
The role will see Lingard provide support and an independent perspective to the board, identify and close down any risks, and advise on any opportunities that may strengthen the business.
He is currently a Non-Executive Director for consulting firm Hatmill and an advisor to two further professional services organisations.
Lingard (pictured, right) said: “Engage has been on a strong growth path for the past few years and I’m excited to support the board in furthering their ambitions for the agency. I hope that my specialisms will offer a unique addition and my independent perspective will enable Alex and the team to spot new opportunities, meet new challenges and achieve their objectives.”
Alex Willcocks (pictured, left), managing director at Engage, added: “We already have a strong and effective board, but felt there was an opportunity to strengthen the team even further with the appointment of the right non-executive director. Ade fills this space perfectly and his PLC and relevant agency experience will be invaluable in our next phase of growth.”
