The role will see Claxton (pictured, right) work with partners and attorneys across the York-based intellectual property firm’s three offices to coordinate and strengthen the marketing and business development function.
Claxton’s 13-year marketing career takes in roles with national brands and covers a range of sectors, including professional services and non-profit.
Commenting on his appointment, Claxton revealed why he decided to join Secerna as its marketing and business development manager.
He said: “When I first came into the office, I immediately got a good feeling about the place. The vision and plans Jason and Charlotte have for the business are exciting and something I want to be part of.
“I know that the skills and knowledge I have built up will benefit Secerna as the business moves forward, and I am looking forward to the challenge of learning more about intellectual property and how it is part of our everyday lives.”
Secerna partner Charlotte Watkins discussed what the appointment means for the firm.
She said: “Chris joins Secerna at an exciting time as we continue to grow and attract new clients and team members. Even with the challenges Brexit and COVID present, the firm has continued to grow.
“We are always looking at ways of innovating and providing the best service for clients, which is why we must invest in our marketing and business development resources. Chris has the skills, knowledge, and desire we are looking for. He has proven to be a natural fit within the team already, and I am excited to see what we can achieve together.”
