Bath-based communications agency Creatrix PR has added new clients and taken on another member of staff as it enjoys a busy start to the year.
The firm has increased its client portfolio by around a third since November, signalling another strong 12 months ahead as it enters its 16th year in business. 
Established in 2000 by directors Gary Squires and Vicky Windsor, Creatrix works with clients across a broad range of sectors including property, business to business and leisure.
To assist with the recent increase in clients, former Bath Chronicle assistant news editor Liza-Jane Gillespie, pictured, has joined the team as a senior account manager.
With 10 years’ experience in journalism, Liza-Jane brings a wealth of experience in media relations, social media and communication.
Creatrix has strong experience in the property sector, helping developers on a variety of planning schemes. It assists clients in holding public consultation events ahead of the submission of a planning application, helping to garner the all-important feedback from the public.
So far this year two clients – Bath Rugby and Ediston – have secured planning consent for major projects in the city.
Ediston has been granted permission to redevelop the Pinesgate site on Lower Bristol Road with 113,000 sq ft of much-needed Grade A office space and a new campus for Kaplan International College. Bath Rugby has been given permission to expand capacity at The Rec to 14,500 and replace the West Stand.
Other Creatrix clients include Bath Riverside developer Crest Nicholson, Mulberry Park developer and social housing group Curo and Bath-based commercial property firm HPH.
Director Gary Squires said: “2015 was a successful year for the company, helping clients with standalone projects as well as a variety of ongoing PR and marketing campaigns. We ended the year on a high with the expansion of our client portfolio.
“We’re lucky to have a diverse range of clients and an in-house team with a broad scope of experience and skills which helps to set us apart from the competition.
“Welcoming Liza-Jane to our team in Bath will add more depth to the expertise we can provide clients.”
