E-consultancy appoints Craig Hanna as Training Director

Internet marketing publisher E-consultancy has recruited Craig Hanna as Training Director to oversee the company’s e-business training strategy.

Craig has worked in digital marketing and e-commerce for the past decade. He joins E-consultancy from Brighton-based digital agency Designate, where he was a partner.

He has worked with a variety of organisations to provide training to professionals working in the marketing and e-commerce arena. Among the organisations he has worked with are The Chartered Institute of Marketing, Institute of Direct Marketing and Business Link.

E-consultancy CEO Ashley Friedlein said: "We are pleased to have been able to add Craig to our team to manage our internet marketing and e-business training workshops."

Friedlein added: "E-consultancy has gained a reputation within the internet industry for hosting quality events, and we needed somebody of Craig’s calibre to manage demand. He will coordinate more than 50 events across the UK in 2006."

E-consultancy’s public internet training workshops now extend to locations other than London, including Manchester, Edinburgh and Bristol. The company also runs bespoke in-house workshops for companies that need help with training.

Craig Hanna said: "I'm passionate both about digital and the need for professional and effective training within the industry. Too often the medium is being poorly exploited due to poor understanding among practitioners across all levels. If the industry wants to attract and retain the best talent it must invest in their future."
