Newcastle-based Admiral PR is opening a Manchester office on 1 September as part of an expansion plan. The company intends to open further offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Scotland and Northern Ireland over the next five years, and recently opened a London base.

Recent appointments include PR entrepreneur Stephen Waddington as non-executive chairman, and Chris Kelsey who joins from Finsbury to head Admiral’s new public affairs division.

Managing director Georgie Cameron set up Admiral in 2004 following a career with McCann-Erickson in the Middle East and as head of PR and public affairs for Sage.
