The new head of sales at s1 is to be Stephen Currie, currently the regional sales director at Tennent Caledonian.

s1 Managing Director Mark Smith said:  “We were delighted with the high calibre of candidates and equally delighted to have secured the services of someone with Stephen’s ambition and experience.”

“It may surprise some that we’ve appointed someone from outside the media sector to such a key role but talent is talent and it’s good to challenge convention once in a while.” 

Currie, who takes over the £10m+ revenue line, said:   “I’ve had a great time at Tennent Caledonian but the lure of s1’s success to date and continuing ambition was very attractive.”

Stephen, who’s 36, will take up his new role in January.
