Stonegate recruits chief marketing officer

The UK’s biggest pub company has recruited Kay Bartlett as its new chief marketing officer (CMO).

She is currently CMO at Wagamama and will officially join the Stonegate team in February 2025.

Stonegate has also announced a second significant appointment to its Operating Board, as Nick Marks, formerly director of commercial for the business, has been promoted to group commercial director, overseeing all procurement activities and leading Stonegate's supply chain operation.

Both roles will report directly to David McDowall, CEO at Stonegate Group. 

"These additions to our Operating Board highlight the critical role both our marketing and commercial teams will play in driving our strategy forward in the coming years," says McDowall. "I’m incredibly excited to welcome someone of Kay’s calibre to the team. She will bring valuable expertise and ensure we continue to put the needs of our guests at the heart of our business. 

"I’m also delighted with Nick’s incredibly well-deserved promotion, which is a reflection of the outstanding contributions made by him and his team in working with our suppliers over the past 18 months. I am excited to see the impact both Kay and Nick will make on our business."
