PR and content agency Press Box PR has expanded to the North with the opening of its first hub outside of London, at Work.Life in Manchester city centre. The Manchester opening coincides with with the launch of a new retail and hospitality division following significant growth and client wins. Combining over 45 years of collective experience, consultants in the Press Box retail and hospitality team bring a strong track record having worked with major brands such as Mars Wrigley, Tilda, Pizza Hut Restaurants, Chicago Town Pizza, Tesco and Co-op Retail. Senior consultant Francesca Gaffey, who is also Manchester-based, will work alongside Maya, as will Lauren Peters, who has been appointed as head of retail and hospitality. Press Box said that the new Manchester team will aim to support the sustainability of the high street and the hospitality sector, and position brands as trusted trade partners.
