Duo of new client wins for Yorkshire PR agency

A Yorkshire PR agency is celebrating two new tech and manufacturing client wins.

The new wins for Leeds-based MacComms include online specialists RapidSpike and Lancashire manufacturing group Baldwin Engineering Holdings Group.

RapidSpike has invested in the PR agency to support its continued growth having successfully received £1 million investment from Prateura Group in September. MacComms is responsible for raising the profile and credibility of the young business which specializes in performance and security management of e-commerce businesses across the globe.

Pendle-based Baldwin Engineering Holdings Group has also appointed MacComms to accelerate the growth of its three global businesses: CFE Lighting Ltd, Sugden Ltd and Baldwin Technical Services.

MacComms, formed in April 2015 by multi-award-winning businesswoman Ellie MacDonald, has helped hundreds of owner-managed firms to secure publicity and award wins, with a particular expertise in supporting tech and manufacturing businesses.

Ellie commented: “I’m really proud to have added RapidSpike and Baldwin Engineering Holdings Group to our portfolio of impressive entrepreneurial firms to support them with their ambitious growth plans.

“Whilst 2020 has been the strangest year since I started MacComms, businesses have a great opportunity to get in front of a captive audience. People are online and reading news articles more than ever and we have been able to thrive from these businesses who continue to see the value of PR.”

CEO of RapidSpike, Gav Winter said: “We are excited to have partnered with MacComms to help us reach and support the vast amount of businesses trading more than ever online. With the growth of online trading, e-commerce businesses need to be extra vigilant and ensure their website performance and security is priority which is where we come in.”

Chris Baldwin, managing director of Baldwin Engineering Holdings Group added: “Partnering with MacComms has already shown to be a great success as we’ve had fantastic coverage for CFE Lighting Ltd within a very short space of time. We’ve worked hard to create great opportunities within the group in unpredictable times and are looking forward working with MacComms to ensure these opportunities and the team behind them receive the credibility and publicity they deserve.”

MacComms plans to build on its current success and grow with further entrepreneurial-led businesses added to its portfolio.
