Tune in: Monday 8.30PM from 7 September

Marion West

39, Head of Marketing
Daiyonda Automotive

Having worked her way up in the uncompromising world of steel and ball bearings, Marion West’s efficiency and determination has recently landed her the plum position as Head of Marketing at Daiyonda Automotive - a key account at BND Advertising.

Marion’s Bluetooth earpiece constantly flashing with important calls, she fills her days with meetings, spreadsheets, cost analyses and product reviews. When she goes home, it’s a different story.

A long-term affair with a married colleague ended badly, leaving Marion only her over-attended, overweight goldfish Buki to relax with. As a major client Marion holds a lot of power within BND, which means by rights she holds the upper hand over Martin. The truth is she needs his talent, and the situation is further confounded by the annoying reality that she finds him undeniably interesting.

Marion is played by Kat Stewart.
