Debbie Curtis has today joined animal welfare charity The Blue Cross as head of 
communications, taking over from Dan Tickle who left in July. For the past 10 years
she was worked at animal conservation charity the Zoological Society of London (
ZSL).
Reporting to Blue Cross marketing and fundraising director Tony Samuel, Curtis
will lead the charity’s 14-strong communications team, overseeing all PR, online,
publishing and advertising activities.

During her time as communications manager at ZSL, Curtis headed up the press team
and managed the website and membership magazine, driving visitors to London and 
Whipsnade Zoos and highlighting ZSL’s scientific and conservation research.

More recently, she developed a communications strategy for a planned £90 million
aquarium project for London’s Docklands, and supporting conservation projects.
