MANCHESTER-based public relations agency SKV Communications has won a place on the Government’s PR roster.

It said it was one of just six firms selected from 59 applicants, and the only agency based in the North.

Managing director Andrew Spinoza said: “At the induction briefing at Cabinet Office we were left in no doubt that Government communicators held the PR sector in Manchester and the North of England in high regard, and we are proud to be representing the Northern PR sector on the roster for large projects throughout the UK.”

SKV’s private sector clients include Swinton Insurance, Selfridges’ stores outside London, and architectural firm BDP.
