Communications agency Liquid is looking to strengthen its UK team amid expansion.

Three new hires have joined communications consultancy Liquid at its Birmingham office, as well as a three promotions within its UK team. The agency is looking to bolster its team following the opening of a new office in Brisbane, Australia, in March.

The new hires are digital project manager Anthony Gibbons, previously project manager at Xigen; PR account manager Ellie Rathbone, previously PR manager at McCann Birmingham; and intern Francesca Mellor, who currently studies History and Economics at Durham University.

Within Liquid’s UK team, Antonia Hall has been promoted to account executive and both Hannah Ashley and Leah Benthin have been promoted to junior account manager roles.

“After a strong first half of 2023, we are so pleased to be strengthening our UK team with three new hires,” says Liquid CEO, Elisabeth Lewis-Jones. “It’s been a pleasure welcoming Anthony, Ellie and Francesca to the team - each of them bringing a wealth of skills to support our ever-growing client base.

“We also strive to recognise and reward our existing team members for their hard work and success, and the promotions of Antonia, Hannah and Leah are testament to this. A big well done to all of them.”
