Severnside operates across a variety of sectors including print, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, and retail where Severnside holds some of the most significant contracts in the industry including Marks & Spencer, Mothercare, Peacocks and Tesco.
Over the course of 2009, Prova has continued to grow in its key sectors of environment, energy and technology. A national award winner for its work, Prova has built its position as one of the leading independent PR agencies in the UK through organic growth.
Tim Price, Severnside’s national commercial manager for sales and marketing, commented: "We’re delighted to be working alongside Prova. Severnside wanted to work with a market-leader in the environmental sector, and we’ve very much got that with the Prova team."
