Promoting and supporting innovation here in the North is something we really value as an agency and championing growth in the region is a constant aspiration of ours and working collaboratively with NorthInvest will allow us to elevate this topic of conversation.”

From September onwards Halston B2B will be executing NorthInvest’s external communications surrounding deal closures with innovative and upcoming northern tech start-ups.

Helen Oldman, Founding Board Director of NorthInvest, said “ The art of telling the growth story is an essential tool for any entrepreneur. That’s why we’re super excited to be partnering with an organisation who understands the challenges of the startup space, and how to find the gem in every founder’s story. It’s great to be working with the team at Halston, watch this space for much more from us both in the next few weeks and months.“
