Golley Slater has announced that Tim Orrell is to take on the role of managing director at its Leed advertising agency, while the company is also set to launch a digital advertising team out of the same office.

The move comes as Golley Slater is looking to grow its Yorkshire operation and strengthen its digital offerings.

Orrell, who joins from Beyond One where he was managing director, will step into the role vacated by Martin Mason who departed the Leeds office last week. He will report for Ken Copson, chairman of Golley Slater’s advertising division, and will work closely with John Kinder, managing director of digital.
