Packer Forbes hires graduate recruits

Packer Forbes Communications has announced the appointment of graduate recruits Isaac Burrows and Zoe Sycamore to its team.

The newly recruited staff members will be developed through the media agency's graduate training programme Steps, which will provide them with guidance on the competencies they will require to progress.

Ms Sycamore, a former biological sciences from the University of Durham with a noted interest in science communications, becomes an account coordinator working across both global and UK accounts.

Meanwhile, Mr Burrows will also serve in an account coordination role, building on his biological sciences qualifications from the University of Bristol, as well as his experience of healthcare working.

Anna Gibbins, managing director of Packer Forbes Communications, said the new hires are welcome "at a time when the agency is experiencing a significant growth to meet the demand from clients for insights-driven market access communications programmes".

Packer Forbes' global client portfolio includes leading healthcare companies such as Actelion, ALK Abello, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi and Merck Sharpe and Dohme.
