Bristol-based Mentor Communications Consultancy has appointed Toby Coulsting as operations director to help manage continued expansion.
Toby, the son of Mentor training director Tina Coulsting Carter, is a former pupil of Cotham Grammar School, and was previously with City of London employee benefits consultancy and online benefits provider, Bluefin. He said: “Bristol’s increasingly powerful influence in digital media made this an irresistible opportunity.
“I worked with Mentor Digital in my previous role to develop an online client management system and became aware of just how much talent there is in the West Country, so it’s great to be back in my home city.”
Mentor, a training business specialising in media skills, set up Mentor Digital to offer web design, software development and digital media production services, four years ago. The business has grown so rapidly that Mentor has moved to larger premises in Kingsdown where Toby Coulsting will take responsibility for project management, HR and financial planning across the company.
Mentor chairman Magnus Carter said: “Against market expectations, our training business continues to perform solidly and Mentor Digital has exceeded our forecasts. Toby’s appointment will help us improve our business processes to stay ahead.”
