The Win Marketing Team
Below is a brief description of the Win Marketing team along with their contact details.
Ann Goodwin Chartered Marketer, FCIM, DipM
Managing Director
Ann began her long and varied marketing career with household names such as Fisons, RS Components and Bostik. Whilst working for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health in Leicester, Ann developed relationships with the media, local and national press, helping to promote the changes in regulations associated with health and safety at work. She was responsible for promoting a number of events including national and international conferences and exhibitions. Her last position as an employee was as Marketing Director for Catalis Rail Training in Derby, a supplier of training and development services across the whole rail industry.
During this time, Ann recognised that many large companies had 'right-sized' their marketing teams and needed additional specialist support on an ad-hoc basis. Equally, Ann felt SME's would benefit from outsourcing their marketing because they can draw on a range of expertise that would not be accessible through one in-house marketing officer. With this in mind, she established Win Marketing in 1999 and also started lecturing for the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
Today at Win Marketing, Ann advises clients on strategic marketing direction to meet clients’ business objectives and various tactical issues across the breadth of the marketing mix. Despite holding senior positions, Ann has never lost the ability to 'roll up her sleeves' and deliver cost-effective, practical solutions that work.
Outside work, Ann is an avid follower and member of Leicester Tigers and England rugby supporters' clubs. She plays golf regularly and is a member of Rushcliffe Golf Club.

Peter Mostyn BA (Hons), DipIA, FCMI
During his enjoyable 45 year career, Peter ran Qualcast’s very profitable ‘hover bovver’ campaign against Flymo. He then became Chairman or MD of many £1m to £50m PLC subsidiaries and private companies. He helped double shareholder value for the £300m PLC Birmid Qualcast as Director of Corporate Development on its bid-defense team. As a main board Director for Walker Greenbank PLC, he helped double the profit for the £49m Consumer Division which he ran, Chairing its UK subsidiaries such as Harlequin, Zoffany, Cole and Warner, and its distribution companies in France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Norway.
Since 2000, he has been a business strategy and innovation consultant and interim executive. Put in by Barclays to run a £4.6m PLC that was losing £1m per annum, he stopped the sales decline and eliminated £1m of costs within a year. Sales at a very profitable £4m private company have climbed by over 30% in the past 3 years partly thanks to a new strategy and management structure Peter recommended and helps implement. Overseas, Peter has trained SMEs as a World Bank consultant.
Peter has understandably given up supporting Derby County and instead qualified as an RYA Day Skipper. Crew to help him sail around the beautiful North Wales coast is always welcome!
