Punch Communications has been appointed by specialist supplier of flood defence solutions, Global Flood Defence Systems to handle its PR.

The global brand, headquartered in Droitwich, Worcestershire, manufactures and supplies flood defence solutions for properties and communities who are at risk from the devastating effects of flooding. Punch’s remit will involve targeting national, broadcast, local, business and trade media to raise awareness of the company and its products, in particular its range of ‘passive’ flood defence products that require no human intervention and are activated by the power of the incoming flood water.

Recent projects have included individual property protection in the village of Great Ayton in North Yorkshire, and installing the SCFB® from its patented self closing flood barrier range to protect pedestrian access to private business premises in Istanbul, Turkey.
