Someone who can discuss with you what’s happening, distil what you want to say into solid news and feature stories and turn copy round as quickly as any city daily newsdesk.

And who can take attractive photographs that editors are happy to publish.

That’s what we do for more than 70 organisations. We are their outsourced press office, providing communications services at a fraction of the cost of an in-house operation or mainstream PR agency.

Our clients enjoy the security of having an experienced team of journalists to call on at any time.
