Search and PR agency Punch Communications continues to enjoy success as 2009 draws to a close and has appointed a Finance Manager and added a HR Manager to the business to support the agency’s expanding team.

Punch has continued to flourish throughout the recession having employed a further PR consultant and social media specialist in the summer. A number of new client wins followed and expansion has resulted in a need for new team members dedicated to HR and Finance functions.

Pete Goold, Managing Director of Punch Communications, said: “The growth we have experienced in the past 12 months has been staggering. We have won a number of exciting new clients and expanded our services to offer search marketing and social media activity to clients. As a result of this we have employed four new members of staff, most recently a HR Manager and Finance Manager to ensure that the business can continue to grow into 2010 as it has over the past 12 months.”
