A Heritage of Innovation
Founded in 1980 by former journalist Ray Groves as PRG Publicity, the agency began as a specialist PR consultancy serving the building services and HVAC sectors. As client needs broadened, we continually expanded in‑house capabilities; adding graphic design, web development and digital marketing long before “integrated” became an industry buzzword. Today, Simon Groves has picked up the baton as Managing Director and leads our forward-thinking team.
