Hayley Plimley

I joined DJH in 2020 to lead on all things marketing and communications. My career began in agency work, collaborating with clients across multiple sectors, including professional services, before joining the exciting world of sport and leisure as Head of Sales and Marketing for a national racecourse group. Here I was responsible for strategic planning and delivery of all marketing communications and promotions.

As Director of Marketing & Communications, I’m DJH’s brand guardian, set marketing strategy, develop M&A communication plans, organise impactful events, and drive ESG improvements. My hands-on approach supports the Group’s exciting journey with a fast-paced, dynamic marketing team where no two days are the same.

• What makes DJH great is…

  We work together as one team, striving for the same goals and ambitions to achieve great things.

• My most trusted piece of advice in business is…

  Mistakes happen. Worrying won’t fix it, own up, find the resolution, put it right and move on – just don’t make the same mistake again.

• On a Saturday morning, you'll usually find me…

  Running my twin daughters to dance class before grabbing a strong coffee and enjoying a family day walking in the countryside.
