Grey hires Bloomfield for Joshua task

Dick Bloomfield, the former managing partner of FCA!, is joining Grey's integrated agency Joshua as business development director.

Bloomfield, who was at FCA! from 1990, took the agency into the Publicis network into 1994. He left the agency before Publicis collapsed it into its group operations late last year and has since been acting as a strategic consultant to COI Communications.

Bloomfield began his career at Lintas in 1970 and spent time at McCann's before launching his own agency, Legon Bloomfield Associates, in 1980.

Peter Thompson, chief executive of Joshua, said: "The role of business development director is a new one. [Dick] understands how agencies and clients work best and how strategy, integration and creativity all work together to produce better results."
