A marketing agency with an impressive record of growth is the latest winner of a monthly business award.

Northern Media received a certificate to mark its success in the competition run by Huddersfield law firm Eaton Smith in conjunction with the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and government export support arm UKTI.

The award was presented to Northern Media directors Chris Elliott and colleagues Anthony Bowyer and Jess Venson by Vicky Heywood, of Eaton Smith, at the law firm’s Market Street offices.

Chris and long-time friend Jonathan Scott launched the Wakefield-based agency in 2008, since when the business has achieved 30% growth year-on-year.

Northern Media operates across Yorkshire and northern England and has clients in a range industries, including construction and manufacturing, food and drink and professional services.

It provides marketing services including website development, search engine optimisation, branding, social media, graphic design and email marketing, mainly for the SME sector.

It also supports local charities and sporting teams in the local community, as well as being active in working with a number of local business networking groups.

The judging panel was impressed by the firm’s clear and honest ethos, the impressive client list which it has developed over the years and with its ambitious growth plans.

Chris said: “Northern Media has come a long way in the last two to three years and it is great to receive recognition for our achievements.

The award reinforces our commitment to growing the business through ambition, hard work and continuing to recruit young, talented and passionate individuals from the local area.”

The awards are open to firms in Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. Contact Ian Greenwood 01484 821389.
