Press article:	Trade body the Catalogue Exchange has appointed a full time Head of Communications to improve media access and raise the organisation’s unique profile. Naomi Dymond joins the organisation from a background in the print and broadcast media spanning more than ten years. Most recently she has worked as a journalist and presenter for ITV Westcountry and will bring a wealth of experience to the company. The Catalogue Exchange is the first organisation of its kind in the UK to be established with the specific aim of supporting and developing businesses in all areas of the catalogue and online retail community. The not-for-profit body exists to facilitate vital networking between its member companies. CatEx was set up in 2004 by business owners who felt their interests were not fairly represented and wanted to give themselves and others in the industry, a voice. It is based in Ilfracombe in North Devon and serves the national and international business community. Due to its continued growth, this new position has been created to help raise awareness of CatEx’s work and ensure it continues to deliver the highest standards to its members. As part of CatEx’s communications strategy, Naomi will be focusing on how to improve the services provided both to its UK member companies and the media. She said: “The Catalogue Exchange plays a vital role in bringing together businesses from all areas of the catalogue industry. It provides an excellent platform for companies to network, share ideas and ultimately improve their business. Little is known of the excellent work of the exchange and over the coming months I hope to raise awareness of the difference it is making at such a difficult financial time for the industry as a whole.” Catalogue Exchange President Nigel Swabey said: “I am delighted Naomi is joining us and that she will be working for the Catalogue Exchange full time. Her background as a journalist is bound to prove invaluable as one of her main tasks will be to raise the profile of the exchange and its work.” ENDS Notes to Editors 1.
