Straightforward Expertise, Protecting your Reputation.
1. Tell us about your role at Hyde Park Environmental and what a typical day looks like for you.
"No two days are ever the same in marketing... which is exactly why I love it! My mornings usually start with a quick team huddle and checking emails (there’s always a few requests for marketing material waiting). From there, I might be in a team meeting or planning upcoming campaigns."
"In the afternoon, I usually try to get stuck into a project the team are working on. Recently that’s included updating the website and refining email content. The wider team also make time for regular team lunches, which is a great way to catch up and keep that strong team spirit going."
2. What do you enjoy most about working for Hyde Park Environmental?
"It has to be the team, there's a real sense of collaboration between the marketing and wider, it really does help make work easier."
"Everyone's door is always open, the team are supportive and always happy to share ideas. Whether it’s during our daily catch-ups or just chatting through a project, there’s always someone to bounce ideas off. It makes working in marketing even more enjoyable when you’ve got such a great team around you."
3. What’s a project or achievement you are particularly proud of?
"I’d highlight the 2026 catalogue rebrand as a standout project. It involved lots of moving parts, from shaping the design direction to coordinating content and bringing everything together for launch, but that’s what made it so rewarding. Seeing the finished catalogue come to life and knowing the impact it has across the business, from sales to customer engagement, was a great feeling. It’s especially satisfying to work on something so visible that really reflects the brand and supports the wider team."
4. What drew you to a career in marketing?
"I studied business studies at school and really enjoyed it, especially the mix of creative thinking and understanding how businesses operate. That interest naturally led me to study marketing at university, where I was able to build on those foundations and explore the subject in more depth. It quickly confirmed that marketing was the right path for me, as it blends creativity with strategy and allows you to see real, measurable results from your work."
"I love how broad the industry is, there are so many different sectors, roles, and directions you can go in, which means there is always something new to learn and plenty of opportunities to grow and try new things."
"At Hyde Park Environmental, I’ve been supported to develop my skills, grow in my role, and continue learning."
