Abchurch wins financial PR brief with Surgical Innovations

Abchurch has been handed a new contract by Surgical Innovations Group, a British designer and manufacturer of creative solutions for minimally invasive surgery.

The agency has been tasked with managing financial PR functions for the Leeds-based company, which is responsible for developing pioneering laparoscopic products that have been shown to reduce procedural costs and enhance clinical performance.

Abchurch has been called in as the firm seeks to expand into new international markets and medical fields.

The account will be run by Sarah Hollins, Abchurch's managing director and head of its regional office in the north, with support from director Joanne Shears, account director Jamie Hooper and account manager Harriet Rae.

Sarah Hollins, managing director of Abchurch, said: "The team looks forward to working alongside the company and the other advisers in communicating its story and key strengths to the city audiences, particularly as it enters its next stage of growth."

Abchurch enjoyed significant success during 2013, earning it a place in the shortlist for the PR firm of the year prize at the Quoted Company Awards.
