JBP Communications, which recently joined the Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce, has launched a new base in Harrogate to support its growing operations across Yorkshire and the North.
The Harrogate office will form part of a wider network which includes bases in Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Westminster, Manchester, Nottingham, and Warwick.
MD Chris Lawrance said: “Harrogate is a bullseye location for us as we expand our footprint across Yorkshire and the North, where we are already working with a growing and diverse range of clients.
“Linking seamlessly to our central office in the heart of Westminster, JBP’s Harrogate base will also offer clients an inside track into our parliamentary and public affairs specialism.
“Yorkshire and the North is an increasingly important heartland for us, and our new office heralds an exciting start to our fortieth anniversary year, as we explore further opportunities to expand at pace and at scale through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.”
The Harrogate operations will be led by a team including two PR consultants from the town – Richard Chew, whose 30-year career has been dedicated to healthcare communications and crisis management, and Jane Burgess, a specialist in the energy and planning sectors.
