KATE Gazzard has joined Salisbury public relations and marketing consultancy Paul Sample Corporate Communi-cations as a public relations account executive.

Ms Gazzard (30) left London earlier this year, where she was public relations manager for Chesterton Residential, after buying a house in south Wiltshire.

Previously she was press and public relations officer for John D Wood & Co, where she worked on publicising sales, lettings and new developments in London and the South East.

She has travelled extensively in Hong Kong, Kenya and South Africa.

Mr Sample said: "Kate Gazzard's appointment is the next step forward in bringing more of our services in-house.

"She strengthens our ability to offer a full range of PR services to our charity, home and lifestyle clients, as well as to our property and commercial development customers."
