Fast growing agency is on the move to new HQ

Public relations firm Roland Dransfield has taken on four new recruits and moved into brand new offices.

The Manchester agency decided to expand after landing six new accounts over the summer.

The firm has added three new members to its accounts team and recruited a new finance manager.

Martha Moore, 24,  joined the agency as an account executive from Savills; Sam Dyson, 22, joins as a junior account executive; and Alicia Verrando, 24, has joined as an account executive from AS Monaco FC.

The fourth new recruit is new office finance manager Aino Raittinen, 32, who has joined the team from property developers Beech Holdings.

The agency has also promoted account manager Maria Murphy, 28, to senior account manager.

The agency has also moved from its former base at Old Granada Studios after three years. The agency’s new office is located inside the Bonded Warehouse building, at the centre of Allied London’s St John’s development.

Lisa Morton, Roland Dransfield’s founder and managing director, said: “We’ve had a great 12 months and the hard work of the entire team has seen deserved growth in both B2B and B2C sectors for the agency.

“As we’ve won new accounts, and the agency is continuing to be invited to pitch for new business, we have needed to recruit further.

“We’ve been very careful about choosing our new recruits – they all bring very different qualities to the agency and we’ve taken our time to make sure each of the new hires fits with our cross-sector growth strategy.

“The new agency office inside Bonded Warehouse now affords us even more room to grow our numbers in an inspiring office space right in the heart of one of Manchester’s most exciting new business districts.”
