Scotts Miracle-Gro’s UK marketing director Paula Parker has left the business following the latest round of restructuring by general manager Sheila Hill.

A process of re-aligning the UK operation with the structure used by its US parent has been ongoing since Hill’s predecessor, Martin Breddy, left last February.

Four brand managers with marketing responsibility now report directly to Hill – a move she claims will make the company more responsive to customer and consumer needs. She applauded Parker’s achievements over seven years with Scotts.

The current in-post brand managers are Fatima Isorce (plant food and growing media), Karen Doyle (controls) and Doug Hamilton (bird food). A lawncare brand manager has still to be appointed.
