Sheffield-based agency BeyondPR has expanded its PR team and appointed a new account manager to help deliver an even better level of service to its growing list of national and local clients.

He is 38-year old Spencer Bailey, who joined BeyondPR earlier this month to start work on a variety of the firm's accounts. With over 14 years experience in marketing and public relations, Spencer joins BeyondPR at a time when it is looking to expand and diversify.

A double graduate from the University of Leeds, Spencer began his career working as a photojournalist for the JPC Group, followed by five years handling the advertising and PR for Henry Boot Homes in Sheffield. A two year stint as the marketing manager for Speed Frame in Rotherham was followed most recently by five years as PR account manager for Doncaster-based Colbear.

A varied PR career has seen Spencer handle the accounts of several notable organisations; including Henry Boot Homes, Doncaster based Pegler Yorkshire Group, Rotherham glass manufacturer Beatson Clark and the US testing giant Underwriters Laboratories.

Following his appointment, Spencer said: "I am delighted to be joining BeyondPR and it's great to be back in my home town of Sheffield! BeyondPR already has a great reputation in the regional and beyond; I'm looking forward to playing my part in meeting the needs of existing clients and supporting the company's development in other areas."

Spencer's appointment comes at an exciting time for BeyondPR. With recent account wins and a number of prestigious clients already on board, the agency's portfolio is growing and 2010 looks set to be a pivotal year in the firm's history.

Commenting on Spencer's appointment, BeyondPR founder and managing director Jon Gardner said, "It is a pleasure to welcome Spencer to the team. Given the high expectations of our clients, it is vital to recruit people who have a proven track record and can offer BeyondPR and its clients the benefit of their experience."

"This feels like a great time to be joining BeyondPR," continued Spencer, "The agency has already seen a great deal of success and the best is still to come."
