About this appointment, Tim Bird, Chief Executive Officer of Health Unlimited commented: “Jon is a well-known senior creative talent in our industry. We are delighted to welcome him and his enormous talent to our global team that is working collaboratively as one team to inspire and create imaginative solutions to solving complex health challenges.

This appointment follows other recent senior appointments of Ann Bartling as PR Practice Lead and Per Hedman as Director of Digital Engagement.

Health Unlimited is part of the Unlimited Group, a digital and technology-based marketing services business and one of the UK’s largest Independent Agency Groups that recently appointed Sarah Shilling to Group CMO and saw the arrival of Michael Richards as Group Managing Director in May to lead Unlimited Group.

One of Michael’s priorities coming into the group was to invest in providing clients with access to the best creative talent, of which Jon will now be an integral part.
