Mrs Langford joined SSL in May 2011 bringing with her extensive experience following a 30 year career as a management administrator. Mrs Langford started her professional life with the UK Government, liaising with and conducting research for overseas film crews, as well as overseas press officer for Official and State visits to England. Following a stint in recruitment, Mrs Langford fully immersed herself into the media world joining the then No. 1 UK advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, where she became part of a core management team as Executive Assistant to the Joint Chairman, who she remained with for 15 years as they moved to the US owned advertising agency, Aspect Hill Holliday in 1987, where Mrs. Langford took on the role of Personnel Manager in addition to the management administration of the agency. Following a management buyout in 1990 to form Laing Henry, the agency was bought by Saatchi & Saatchi in 1994 and Mrs Langford was at the centre of the transition with the Chairman, being particularly instrumental in ensuring all Laing Henry staff members were properly integrated into the international giant of Saatchi & Saatchi.

Mrs. Langford relocated to Jamaica in 1996 and in 1997 joined National Outdoor Advertising Limited (NOA), an outdoor media house and sign manufacturer. Mrs. Langford worked with the senior management of the Company providing management assistance, day-to-day executive administration and took on various ad-hoc projects for the principals, as well as assuming the role of Personnel Manager. Following the purchase of NOA in 2008, Mrs. Langford worked with the new owners and management as they merged City Graphics into NOA and streamlined the business.

After 14 years, Mrs. Langford adds a wealth of local experience and knowledge to her international base and a fresh approach as she joins us as a member of the SSL Executive.
