Durham content startup pens early job growth chapter

Specialist writing startup Concision has made an encouraging start to life as a budding North East business, announcing the appointment of four new recruits.

Beginning trading in Durham less than a year ago, the business writing firm provides a content service to allow brands and organisations to ‘use just the right words’ to get their message across.

Business writers Joseph Costello and Iglika Lax started working with Concision at the beginning of July, whilst authors Michael Dormandy and Pete Holt will be joining the team at different points in the summer.

Offering insight to the business, Daniel Roe, CEO, explained: “More and more, companies are beginning to realise how important it is to cut through the noise by communicating simply and clearly. Quality content is now the key strategy in marketing.

“County Durham is a good place for creative businesses like ours,” continued Daniel. “There is a lot of expertise in the North East that has really benefited us as a start-up, including access to great talent. We have been well positioned for growth from the start.”

Concision has been given financial guidance and support by Jesmond-based Robson Laidler accountants and business advisors.

Robson Laidler director and tax advisor Martin Wardle said: “We are proud to have been involved with the business right from the start. It is always satisfying to work with driven business owners to help them achieve their goals.

“Durham is an area of extensive growth and increasing popularity; a hub for entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to develop their brand and reach out and captivate their audience.

“We love the feeling of supporting local businesses just as much as we relish the opportunity to help a small business get off the ground, wherever they are based.”
