Reading-based public relations firm Berkeley PR (BPR) has promoted Emma Theron to account director from her role as senior account manager.

Theron joined BPR in 2008 as an account executive and worked her way up to account manager before leaving for a brief spell to expand her experience at a full service marketing agency. She returned in late 2010 as a senior account manager, and has now gained a promotion within ten months.

BPR has also recruited seven new hires across all levels to assist with its growing client base.

Denis Davies joins as a senior account manager from a London agency, whilst Lauren Wood has been promoted to senior account manager following her first year anniversary.

BPR has now moved to a larger office to accommodate this expansion of personnel.

The company is continuing to recruit PR professionals at all levels. Visit www.berkeleypr.co.uk/careers for more information or send your CV to recruitment@berkeleypr.co.uk
