Paver Smith goes downtown with new contract win

Influential north west business club, Downtown Liverpool in Business, has continued its development strategy with the appointment of PR consultancy Paver Smith.

The organisation, which has established groups in Liverpool, Manchester, Preston and Lancaster, has recruited the agency to provide media and member relations support as it bids to expand its existing network of professionals.

Downtown Liverpool in Business, led by chairman Frank McKenna, has forged a reputation as an influential lobbying group, providing a link between the region's private sector and public sector, while also creating a forum for valuable networking among entrepreneurs and business leaders.

This latest contract win marks a further coup in a successful year for Paver Smith, which has already landed assignments with Miss England, Oddfellows and the Grand National in the past four months.

Martyn Best, director at Paver Smith, said: "Downtown Liverpool in Business is a real player in the north west business scene and its influence, both in terms of policy decisions and professional networking, is growing all the time.

"We're looking forward to increasing the profile of the group's important and effective work and ensuring it is regarded as the region's number one professional organisation."
