Moran was previously head of operations at Dundee agency MediaCo while Heffernan has over 15 years’ experience within digital marketing and is a well-known seminar presenter.

Neilson moves from her own consultancy, Lateral Work, and previously worked as a senior account director at McCann Erickson.

Foundry MD Kevin Murphy said:: “This investment is part of an aggressive growth strategy that began with the launch of Foundry Healthcare – our specialist healthcare marketing arm – and now marks a step-change in our digital commitment and resource.

“Julie, Barrie and John give us world-class skills and strength – we’ll therefore be able to make an even greater difference to our clients’ ability to sell today and build their brands for tomorrow.”

The Foundry’s clients include Stobart Barristers, Bike & Go and PGL.
