Congratulations to Four Communications for winning a creative account with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy worth up to £4.5m over three years. It's evidence of the esteem in which good creative thinking with an earned media focus is held by the powers that be, so in that respect it also reflects positively on the in-house world.

We're keen to hear about more hires and other developments across the breadth of public sector PR - if you have news you'd like to share, email me at john.harrington@haymarket.com.
