A WORCESTER marketing consultancy celebrated 21-years recently with a party at Worcester Racecourse.

More than 50 staff and clients attended the party for Market Link, which was set up in 1981 by co-directors David Pickering, Peter Lacey and Steve Hynds.

It now employs a team of 18 people at its premises in Barbourne, and has an annual turnover of more than £2m.

Steve Paddock joined in 1993 as director of Market Link's dedicated PR consultancy.

"We have had a fantastic 21 years and wanted to say a big "thank you" to everyone who has been part of it along the way," said David Pickering, managing director.

Clients include Worcester Heat Systems, Group 4 Total Security, University College Worcester and GPU Power UK.

The company is now looking to expand.
