LONDON - Scottish outdoor contractor Forrest Media has appointed a new sales director as it gears up to open a London office later this year.

James Power, formerly head of sales at giant banner company Big Sky Banners, joins Forrest next week as sales director.

His role will be to sell and market the company’s portfolio of premium backlit sites, giant banners and its CityScreen LED network to outdoor specialists, agencies and clients.


Forrest managing director Marc Keenan said Power would help to boost the company’s London profile.
Power said: “The company’s ambitions are absolutely clear: to continue to invest in top-end products and to remain the quality niche player in the out-of-home sector.”

Forrest Group is the largest private owner of freehold advertising sites in the UK. Its sites include a network of roadside, moving digital CityScreens, each measuring 55 square metres.
