A WORCESTER marketing and PR company has set up an in-house design service following several major new account wins.

Mears Communications Limited has always been keen to set up a creative studio and has now made the move after the new account wins, including St Richard's Hospice and the Chamber of Commerce Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

"Strategically, this move has always been one we have been keen to make as soon as the time was right," said Amanda Fishburne, business development manager.

"A strong growth curve on all sides of the business, with a particular focus on the design side, has seen this development now."

Toby Whiting has been appointed creative director.
