CPD appoints leading communications agency to manage expansion
April 02, 2009
Bluestorm, one of East Yorkshire’s largest Marketing & PR agencies, has been appointed by one of the UK’s leading cleaning and hygiene products suppliers, CPD plc, to assist with the company’s communications strategy. As a result of continued growth, CPD recently moved into brand new, purpose built headquarters at Hull’s newest industrial development, the Ipark. As a result of this growth, CPD has enlisted the support of Bluestorm to assist with the next phase of the company’s development.
The two Hull-based businesses started their working relationship in January 2009 on a variety of communications projects. These include public relations activity, graphic design, e-marketing and web development, which will help CPD connect with its existing and potential customers on a local and national basis.
Shaun Chatterton, Chief Executive of CPD plc comments: “The start of 2009 has been very exciting for us so far. Our recent move to new premises will facilitate further expansion, and our decision to appoint Bluestorm signifies our requirement to have a hands-on, forward thinking communications agency that can help us maximise our potential for further growth.”
“Bluestorm has already supported us throughout our office move and has introduced us to new technologies that will enable us to communicate with our wide ranging customer base. The Bluestorm team is able to provide all of the services we require in an integrated, comprehensive package that suits our needs perfectly. I’m delighted with results so far and look forward to working with them on a wide variety of projects in the future.”
Andrew Cawley, Managing Director of Bluestorm comments on the appointment: “CPD is a prestigious company in the local area and is currently enjoying a period of sustained growth. We are keen to help CPD realise their business objectives by providing integrated marketing solutions that are underpinned by our core values of quality, service and value. We hope to quickly become a part of the CPD team and I’m confident the relationship will be a success.”

CPD offers bespoke solutions to its clients, which include large catalogue-order companies and independent businesses. CPD has its own fleet of delivery vehicles, which operate within a 100 mile radius of Hull.
