AMBROSE COMMS HITS FOURTEEN ON HALLOWEEN
Doesn't time fly when you're having fun. Ambrose Comms celebrates its 14th birthday on 31st October 2009. Says founder Maxine Ambrose, "It's been an eventful and exciting 14 years. We've been lucky enough to work with some of he most interesting organisations, particularly in the tech industry. It's especially rewarding when you see a company grow or increase its sales as a direct result of good PR. And despite 2009 being the year of the ubiquitous Credit Crunch, the second half has been particularly good to us, with three new clients signed up in October alone and lots of new business leads coming in the door. Here's to an even bigger celebration next year when we hit 15!"
