Durham PR lands ten new accounts in ten weeks

Durham-based communications firm, Sheila Chapman PR, has landed ten new accounts in the last ten weeks, and say business has started to pick up following recession.

The firm, which is also celebrating its tenth anniversary, is now planning to grow significantly over the next two years.

Founder Sheila Chapman said: “The pastcouple of years have been really tough in the PR industry as companies reigned in resources during the recession and local authorities suffered huge budget cuts. But business has really picked up and to scoop ten new accounts in the space of ten weeks at a traditionally quiet time of year is really great news for our firm.

“We have a dedicated team of professionals who really care about their work and have a lot of creative talent.

“Winning these key accounts has been a tremendous boost to our business as we plan to go for growth in the next two years.”

Most recently the firm has been working with drugs and alcohol testing firm CSI, who have invested £1 million in their laboratories at NETpark.
