A public relations firm is going from strength to strength after winning three major national accounts.

Razor Public Relations of Bignell Park Barns, Chesterton, has taken on engineering consultancy Whitby Bird & Partners, the Institution of Civil Engineers and Manpower Software, a leading specialist in workforce planning and optimisation software.

A new consultant, Tony Patrick, 26, has been taken on, bringing the workforce up to six. It is hoped to add a further two during this year.

Director Chris Woodcock, who set up the firm with Debbie Parriss just over two years ago, said: "We anticipate having a team of up to 30 people known for their ability and reputation for excellence."

Ms Parriss added: "We are planning to bring in some very senior PR professionals with at least ten years' experience, who have held director level posts in other consultancies, to help us grow more business with blue-chip clients in the UK and internationally."

Existing clients include chemical giant ICI and the Adult Learning Inspectorate.
