PINEWOOD Group has appointed Scottish advertising veteran Mary Teresa (MT) Rainey as a non-executive director.
The 59-year-old Ms Rainey is originally from Dumbarton but rose to prominence in the 1980s with the Chiat agency working on many Silicon Valley accounts including Apple.
She formed her own agency, Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, in 1993 attracting blue chip clients including Virgin, Scottish & Newcastle and Smith & Nephew.
In 1999 she sold the agency to Y&R but stayed on as its chair until 2005.
Since leaving advertising she developed mentoring network Horsemouth and has also been involved with digital agency Th_nk.
She has previously been on the board of STV and WH Smith. She is currently a non-executive director of Channel 4 Television and Creative Skillset.
Pinewood, the film and television studio group, also appointed Catherine Raines as a non-executive. The former pharmaceuticals executive is now Director-General of UK Trade & Investment China.
Lord Grade, chairman of Pinewood, said: "Catherine and MT bring experience and skills to the Board which will be of immense value to Pinewood in delivering its strategic objectives."
Pinewood also confirmed that Ruth Prior, who is already on its board, will take the role of senior independent director.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
