AWARD winning PR and marketing professional Hannah Haffield has set up her own PR and marketing consultancy to help local businesses increase sales and growth.

Mrs Haffield, who is 28, won the title of West Midlands Young Person in Business organised by the British Chambers of Commerce in late 2014 and has many years’ experience in PR and marketing, having worked with a number of consumer and corporate brands across both public and private sectors.

Her new consultancy, which is called Make More Noise and is based at Hallow Park, near Worcester, already has a number of high profile clients including luxury hotel The Wood Norton at Evesham and late night venue Alexanders in Worcester, 2014’s Apprentice winner Mark Wright and national ed-tech firm e-Careers Limited.

Mrs Haffield said: "Founding and developing Make More Noise has been an extremely exciting challenge, which I am very proud of. To date I have met and developed new working relationships with a number of local and national businesses and been successful in supporting their wider growth objectives.”

Steve Sweeny, general manager of The Wood Norton, added: "Hannah has done an incredible job in increasing our brand awareness among the local community and further afield, and we now look forward to working with her and the Make More Noise moving forwards.”
