Plenham Limited is delighted to announce the appointment of Lisa Shaw as head of marketing for the business.

She joins the team to drive the continued growth of IBIS Worldwide, the world’s only global collision repair market conference provider, as well as Bodyshop Magazine, the UK’s leading automotive aftermarket publication.

Lisa has enjoyed a varied and successful career in marketing, spending eight years at BASF where she delivered a series of campaigns to raise awareness of the RM and Glasurit brands.

During her time at BASF, she also supported with event management, brand advertising and industry engagement, and was involved in the sponsorship of the Bodyshop Awards.

In 2016 she broadened her experience by moving into the science, technology and engineering sectors, spending a decade at Sci-Tech Daresbury and BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, before returning to automotive with this appointment.

Full circle

Lisa said: “This return represents a full-circle moment in my career, and I am excited to reconnect with familiar faces, build new relationships and help shape the future of two respected industry brands.”

Robert Snook, IBIS conference director, added: “Attracting someone of Lisa’s calibre into the business is a great endorsement of our strategy and ambition across both IBIS and Bodyshop Magazine.

“It provides a clear call to action for UK and International partners to connect with Lisa, because this brand new role provides new and unlimited brand positioning and collaboration opportunities for our partners – which in turn will increase value for delegates who attend our experiences and events in 2026.”
