Nathan said: "This is a great time to return to Leeds and join a really creative team of people. I believe the recession has accelerated the pace of change in the way companies talk to their customers and this provides a great opportunity for PR agencies. The ability to manage a company's reputation and engage its customers across all media sets the good agencies apart from the rest.
“I join a truly talented team at Ptarmigan that has proven over the years that they can create campaigns that get people talking and deliver commercial impact. As part of Bell Pottinger, a global communications agency, we have access to resources that will serve all our clients well and underpin our growth."
