LIVERPOOL-BASED PR firm Paver Smith yesterday completed the acquisition of Factory Communications, and revealed it is in talks with three other agencies.
The deal will increase Paver Smith’s turnover to £2.4m and its workforce to 32, while bringing clients such as Heathcotes, ACC Liverpool and energy giant E.on to its business.
Managing director Dougal Paver said: “We are in early talks with three other agencies that each bring something very different to the table, and hope we can conclude at least one further acquisition by the autumn.”
Factory was set up in June, 2006, by former Liverpool Echo deputy editor Jon Brown.
