Walpole members will be seeing two new faces at our roster of events moving forward. We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jessica Day (above left), who joins the membership team from Hearst Luxury as Senior Membership Manager, and Rebecca Mars (above right), who joins the membership team her previous role at the Graduate Fashion Foundation as Membership Manager. They replace Rosie Mason and Stephanie Robinson who left Walpole earlier in the summer.
"I’m excited to be joining the Walpole team as Senior Membership Manager working with and on behalf of luxury brands that I admire," says Jessica Day. "Walpole is a one-of-a-kind association in the UK and, as the voice of British luxury, plays a key role in ensuring our sector continues to be the envy of the world. I feel privileged to be part of such an amazing team and can’t wait to get started and meet all our wonderful members!"
Both Jessica and Rebecca will report into Tiago Restani, Walpole's Director of Development & Membership, and are now the go-to contacts for Walpole members.
"I am thrilled to welcome Jessica Day and Rebecca Mars to the Walpole team," says Helen Brocklebank, Walpole's Chief Executive. "Jessica brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles at Hearst Luxury, Harrods and the FT, and from her time at The British Fashion Council and Graduate Fashion Foundation, Rebecca has strong roots in the luxury style sector. Both will be invaluable as we evolve Walpole’s mission to serve our members, and to help make sure Britain is the best place in the world to grow a luxury brand. They build on a tremendous foundation laid by Stephanie and Rosie who did so much to develop our service to members over the last five years. I know they will thrive on our membership team and help reach our goals for 2022 and beyond.”
Jessica and Rebecca will be reaching out to all our members over the coming weeks, but if you would like to message them directly (or simply update your address books), please find their email contacts below.
