NS&I (National Savings and Investments) today (3 November 2008) announced the appointment of Gareth Headon as its Head of Media and Public Relations and the promotion of Gill Stephens to Senior Media Relations Manager.

Gareth joins the NS&I team today after six years at Eurostar.  As Media Relations Manager at Eurostar, he worked on the successful launch of services from St Pancras International and the launch of the company’s ‘Tread Lightly’ environmental initiative.

His 10 years’ experience in high profile communications roles, including the Which? magazine/Consumers’ Association press office and at pan-European PR agency Johnson King, make him a skilled communications professional.

Gareth will devise and implement strategic and tactical PR programmes to communicate and promote the NS&I brand.

After two years at NS&I, Gill will now lead the Media Relations team of three, reporting directly to Gareth, who, will focus on communications strategy and corporate communications with a dedicated corporate communications manager.

Gareth Headon said: “NS&I is a strong brand that has been trusted by customers since 1861. I am delighted to join at a time when strategic media communications and PR can make a real difference to people’s understanding of the NS&I brand values.”

Tim Mack, NS&I’s Head of Marketing and Communications, added: “Gareth’s extensive experience in corporate communications and media relations will combine very well with Gill’s experience at NS&I including leading the team over the last year; we are looking forward to the contribution both will make to our business in their new roles.”
