PR firm unveils expansion plan

NEWCASTLE PR firm Admiral has set out plans to treble its workforce and annual turnover in the next five years as it gears up for the opening of a Manchester office.

The company, which currently employs 10 full-time and four part-time staff, is to roll out its services to other regions, with plans to add further offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Scotland and Northern Ireland over the next five years.

The company has also acquired a London base, although Newcastle will remain its head office.

Admiral’s founder and managing director, Georgie Cameron said: “We’ve spent the past 18 months planning our growth strategy whilst protecting our current position during these tough times. Having managed to avoid any drop in profit or turnover, we’re now ready to move forwards and export Admiral’s expertise, creativity and dynamism to Manchester and from there elsewhere around the country.

“It’s a really exciting move for the company and as a team we’re looking forward to taking on fresh challenges.”

Recent steps to implement the strategy include the appointment of PR entrepreneur, Stephen Waddington as non-executive chairman, and Chris Kelsey who joins from London agency Finsbury. Chris will head up the new public affairs division at Admiral.
