Newcastle-based PR agency Admiral issued an announcement August 13, about their short-term expansion plans, which include the opening of a Manchester office on September 1st and trebling both turnover and workforce numbers within the next five years.

The agency currently employs 10 full-time, and four part-time, staff, but announced the intention to open offices in other regions as well, in locations like Birmingham, Bristol, Scotland and Northern Ireland over the next five years. The company has recently acquired a London office and is currently seeking talented personnel for its future endeavors.

“We’ve spent the past 18 months planning our growth strategy while protecting our current position during these tough times. Having managed to avoid any drop in profit or turnover,” said Georgie Cameron, Admiral founder in a statement, and continued “we’re now ready to move forwards and export Admiral’s expertise, creativity and dynamism to Manchester and, from there, elsewhere around the country. It’s a really exciting move for the company and as a team we’re looking forward to taking on fresh challenges.”

Recent steps to implement the strategy include the appointment of PR entrepreneur Stephen Waddington as non-executive chairman, and Chris Kelsey who joins from London agency Finsbury. Chris heads up the new public affairs division.

Admiral has clients all over UK. The company’s long-term plan is to become a well-respected pan-regional communications agency. To demonstrate this commitment to growth, the company already worked with international and Manchester City goal keeper Shay Given and his wife on their celebrity-studded charity event, Fashion Kicks 2010. Admiral also landed Manchester-based O3Talk, a new conference call provider set to revolutionize the current market.
