The award-winning residential property developer Vivly Living has strengthened its marketing team with the appointment of Joe Murray as trainee marketing executive.
Nineteen-year-old Joe joins Huddersfield-based Vivly from commercial trailer manufacturer Montracon.
Joe, who was educated at New College, Pontefract, explained: “This is a wonderful opportunity for me. Vivly Living is a highly respected and successful residential developer with a strong presence in West Yorkshire.
“I decided to embark on an apprenticeship, rather than go to university, because I prefer to learn while working. My apprenticeship course is designed to last 18 months, but I am hoping, provided I work hard, I can reduce this to 14. I strongly believe that apprenticeships play a key role in career development and I am determined to make the most of this wonderful opportunity.
“I am joining a close-knit team where I am hoping that my digital marketing skills, including photography, blog and content writing and social media experience, will be a real asset. Vivly has a tremendously bright future ahead and I am honoured to be part of it.
“I have always been fascinated by both residential and commercial property. My father is an architect and my grandfather was a property developer, so the sector is in my blood. This is a dream job.”
Jen Wass, Vivly’s head of marketing, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Joe to our team. His enthusiasm and his knowledge of digital marketing make him the perfect fit for us as we become busier and busier.
“As a forward-thinking and pro-active residential property developer, we are fully aware of the importance of digital marketing and social media campaigns in helping to sell houses, which is why Joe’s appointment is a significant statement of intent by our marketing team.”
Joe, who lives in Pontefect, enjoys playing and watching football (he is a Sunderland supporter), music and cooking.
Vivly, previously known as Yorkshire Country Properties, has won a host of regional and national awards for its developments in West Yorkshire. The company is currently on site at Shepley, Skelmanthorpe and Denby Dale.
