A WORCESTERSHIRE PR and marketing agency has been boosted after receiving an investment from BBC Apprentice winner Mark Wright.

Founded by PR and Marketing Consultant, Hannah Haffield, in October 2015, Make More Noise has grown rapidly over the past two years, and during this time has established long term relationships with a number of local and national businesses - including luxury Worcestershire based hotel, The Wood Norton, and national education technology firm, e-Careers Limited.

The Malvern firm first started working with Mr Wright in 2015 providing personal PR representation, together with an overarching PR strategy for Climb Online - the digital marketing agency he founded after winning series 10 of the show which stars Lord Alan Sugar.

Impressed by the service Mr Wright approached Make More Noise to invest in September 2017, and now, as a firm director, he will play a key role in scaling the company and supporting accelerated growth – with expansion into Birmingham planned.

Mr Wright said: “PR is a sector that has always interested me, and one that is becoming increasingly important to digital marketing.

“I have worked with Hannah and the Make More Noise team for two years now and have always been impressed by the service and results received – therefore an investment into the firm seemed an obvious step, and is one I am very excited about. "Hannah and I already have a number of game-changing plans in place, with one of the first being an expansion into Birmingham – so watch this space.”

Hannah added: "Both the team and I are extremely excited about Mark’s investment into Make More Noise, and feel he will be a true asset to the agency’s growth over the coming years.”

“His business capability is showcased in the outstanding success of Climb Online – which is the only Apprentice-born business to have turned over in excess of £1 million during its first year of trading, and now boasts four office locations across the UK.

"Mark’s investment is certainly the best way to celebrate our second year in business, and I am very excited to see what the future holds.”
