Brief summary of what you do at John Planck
I lead all marketing activity to ensure people understand the skills, knowledge, and expertise of our team. I oversee the promotion and communication of the company’s full product offering, from everyday ironmongery through to bespoke solutions and everything in between, across a wide range of sectors. This includes managing campaigns, content, events, social media, and communications that highlight the company’s strengths and achievements. The variety of sectors and projects keeps the role interesting, and I’m proud to play a part in helping the team’s expertise and hard work be recognised.

Favourite project or client you’ve worked with and why
The Britannic Belmond Explorer is a favourite project to highlight. It perfectly showcases the team’s ability to combine technical expertise with luxury design. Working on a moving train brings unique challenges, requiring solutions that are both functional and durable under constant movement, while still delivering high-end finishes for a truly luxurious environment. Sharing projects like this demonstrates the depth of expertise, bespoke capabilities, and attention to detail the team brings to every challenge.

Favourite product or finish
I really enjoy the bespoke element of what we do, creating tailor-made solutions means the possibilities are endless and it can help solve a client’s unique design challenges. I also love antique brass for its timeless look and feel, which adds a classic, elegant touch to any project.
