Tony Langham, CEO, comments: "We're pleased to welcome Katherine Hobby and Chris Bose to the partnership. The structure is important to us and allows us to reward our best people with the chance to own a stake in the company. This promotion recognises the important contribution and commitment that Chris and Katherine have made to the business, as well their importance to our future.

"In these difficult times - as we don't have the restrictions of a network or owned agency - we have been able to both continue  investing in the business and to continue our progressive ownership policy."
