Chalk & Ward Advertising is celebrated a year in their new building on Southernhay last month. The move from the Quay in March 2013 has proven a very successful one, Managing Director Robert Chalk says;

“It’s hard to believe that we’ve been in Southernhay a year already. Time flies when you’re having fun, or at least when you’re busy! I’d like to think we’ve had a healthy mix of both.

It’s certainly been a crazy 12 months since we moved. We’ve taken on 5 new members of staff and won a staggering 17 new clients, including The Met Office, The Big Cake Show, Bradburys and...
