Selected by Chief Executive, John Hill, after a two round interview process, they will now divide their time between their office in Burwell and the council offices in Ely.
This new partnership will bring new resource and a fresh perspective to proceedings, thus enabling Spirus to effectively communicate ECDC’s four year Corporate Plan and its key priorities. Spirus fully recognises the responsibility of this role and through active engagement will accurately inform local residents of what is being done to achieve the council’s overriding aim of making East Cambridgeshire an even better place to live, work and visit.
Since the merger of marketing, PR and events consultancy, Jo Riches Ltd, and telemarketing experts, Blue Warthog, in 2013, Spirus has steadily grown, working with global organisations to well-known high street brands, as well as securing contracts with various Cambridgeshire-based businesses spanning many sectors.
Senior Communications Director, Jo Riches, says: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with East Cambridgeshire District Council. As a business owner and resident of ECDC, I have a great personal interest and we’re really looking forward to being part of local projects. The four year Corporate Plan has a diverse list of priorities, which will present an exciting challenge, one we will tackle with great enthusiasm. We are looking forward to meeting the management team and councillors, and putting together a powerful PR & communications strategy. Our in house team has an exceptional range of specialisms and experience, from research and telemarketing, to copywriting and PR, and we can’t wait to get started.”
