Shrewsbury design, digital and marketing agency Clear has appointed a new Managing Director to support its growth strategy.

Gavin Mills has become Managing Director of Clear, having stepped up from his previous role as Technical Director. In his new role he has already overseen the acquisition and renovation of new office space for the growing business, and will now implement the ambitious growth strategy for the firm, which recently expanded its offer to include marketing services.

Gavin said: "The creation of this new role reflects the growth our business has already undergone and continues to take, ensuring we grow in a strategic and sustainable way. By creating one central point of responsibility and accountability for growth and the business our senior team is freed up to concentrate on what they do best, delivering outstanding work for our clients. Having co-founded the company ten years ago, I am delighted we are not just still going strong but are taking such large steps forward to develop and grow as a company."

Gavin co-founded Clear with Creative Director Glyn Davies in 2001, after the two colleagues saw an opportunity for design and technical services to be offered under one roof. Since then the company has grown to an 11-strong team completing work for national clients including Nike and BT, and local clients such as Pockets and Cooking Marvellous.
