MEET THE MANAGEMENT

Each and every one of the Eclipse team has helped to deliver real, worthwhile and lasting results for our clients’ businesses. There are over 75, so there isn’t room to introduce them all – but these are the people who lead them in delivering that success.

David Pickering
Chairman & Managing Director

David has been MD of Eclipse Marketing since forming the company with Penny Hutton in 1988. Before that, he was a director of the database marketing company SML and held several senior positions in the automotive sector. David enjoys golf, boating, savouring the occasional glass of wine and planning a great future for Eclipse.

Penny Hutton
Strategy & Planning Director

One of Eclipse’s founding partners, Penny focuses on developing the business – both by expanding existing client business and winning new clients. As she’s also responsible for marketing and PR, she has her hands pretty full, but having spent nine years as Client Services Director before assuming the role of Commercial Director, she knows the business inside out. Away from work, Penny enjoys her family, friends, food, wine, Cornwall and Codewords.

Jenny South
Operations Director

Jenny joined Eclipse in 1999 to handle the IT and telecoms infrastructure, systems and production. She has over twenty years of experience in the IT business, having worked previously for a global software company and an American investment bank, where she managed the development of global software applications.

Simon Steel
Insight & Digital Director

Simon has over twenty years' experience providing analysis and consultancy services to the marketing industry. He has worked at leading UK data and analysis providers and on the client-side in business forecasting and market research roles. More recently he moved into direct/digital agencies in insight and strategy planning roles. Simon has worked on projects across all direct channels and has a particular passion for online communications.
