Communications agencies complete merger to target property sector

Two communications agencies have joined forces to create a new company specialising in the property and development industry.

The merger of Resolve Public Affairs and PilgrimPR has resulted in the creation of Royal Pilgrim Communications, which is expected to reach the £500,000 turnover mark. 

With its headquarters in Leeds, Royal Pilgrim Communications will also have satellite offices in York and Sheffield.

The two founding directors, Scott Royal and Ben Pilgrim, have over 40 years combined communications experience and both specialise in working within the built environment sector.

Royal, previously managing director of Resolve Public Affairs and founding director of Royal Pilgrim Communications, said: “Royal Pilgrim Communications will provide a unique service to clients by pooling our skills and experience.

“Both companies work for many of the leading names in the development and regeneration sectors and have gained good reputations for getting positive results for clients.”

Royal Pilgrim Communications is specialising in PR, community and stakeholder engagement, public affairs, design and marketing.

Ben Pilgrim, who ran PilgrimPR for over 10 years and is now founding director of Royal Pilgrim Communications, added: “I have known Scott for many years and have been very impressed with his work on major projects throughout the UK. By joining together we can scale new heights and achieve even more.

“This merger will build on the success both firms have had in the property industry and we intend that the outcome for clients will be a high quality service, much like when Mr Rolls met Mr Royce!.”
