Growing multi-media agency looks to expand workforce

An expanding multi-media agency is looking to increase its workforce due to growth and development in the company.

HPM Group, based in Aycliffe Business Park in County Durham, is recruiting for five new employees to add to its 45-strong staff.

The integrated marketing communications company offers marketing, creative and digital communications creating an online presence, PR and event management services.

The agency moved from Aycliffe to Bishop Auckland in 2000 and has since grown into a £5.4m a year company.

It is now looking to hire a creative director, a client services manager, a senior sales executive for print and another for digital and a junior sales executive.

Managing director Richard Mortimer said: “These are changing times for the industry and we’re moving in line with those changes.

“We’re very much excited at the prospect of bringing five new people into the company to complement what is already a brilliant team of individuals.

“We have a talented team at HPM and we have all the latest, state-of-the-art technology to give our creative people the necessary tools to deliver top solutions.

“We want all five new recruits to fit into our ethos and to enjoy coming to work every day.”

The creative director will be charged with determining the best ways for HPM to visually represent clients’ identities on and off line.

The client services manager will have a proven track record in managing relationships between an organisation and its customers in the marketing communication services industry.

The senior sales executive for print will have a sound knowledge of the print industry and had at least five years’ experience in a senior sales role. Similarly, the digital sales executive will boast an excellent knowledge of the digital communications industry.

The junior sales executive is an opportunity for a graduate, or someone with two years’ experience working in sales and marketing, to work with the senior sales executives.

The integrated marketing communications company is built on a heritage of print services and works with a variety of organisations, from Auckland Castle and Wynyard Hall, to NHS Trusts, and Durham, Teesside and Huddersfield universities.

It is also famous for printing football programmes for clubs including Liverpool, Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
