FRESHFIELD ENGAGED IN TOILET HIRE CONTRACT...

A top Preston PR and design agency has flushed away its rivals to secure a contract with the second largest portable toilet hire company in the UK.

Freshfield, which is based on Winckley Square, has been engaged by Toilet Hire UK to carry out a PR campaign and redesign and build a new website.

Toilet Hire UK has 12 depots in the UK and supplies portable toilets and maintenance services to construction and event management companies including AMEC, Galliford Try, Carillion, Glastonbury Festival, Notting Hill Carnival, Leeds and Reading Carling Festivals.

The company was bought out from Speedy Hire in 2005 by directors, Mike Greenough and John Meadows.

Simon Turner, managing director at Freshfield, said: “We are delighted to be on board. Our PR and online strategy will support Toilet Hire UK by raising its profile and enhancing its position in the market. ”

“The creative ones at Freshfield have not been slow in suggesting suitable slogans and strap lines – it’s a unique creative brief and one which we will relish.”

Freshfield provides PR, graphic design and website services to companies across the North. It has additional offices in Manchester. In January 2004, senior consultants, Simon Turner and Michael Gregory, completed a management buyout of the company.
