Manchester-based PR agency marco/richards has won a trio of new healthcare accounts.

The firm, founded and run by former national newspaper journalists and with Reach plc and News UK among the team’s former employers, will be delivering ongoing PR campaigns for The National Heart Clinic – Harley Street’s leading preventative cardiology specialists – as well as VeinCentre, the UK’s largest varicose vein specialists, who operate over 40 clinics nationwide.

The agency, which currently has seven full-time consultants on the payroll, is also providing a digital PR campaign for The Health Suite, a Leicester-based private GP and wellness clinic.

Dr Francesco Lo Monaco, cardiologist, author of Heart Saviour and owner of The National Heart Clinic said: “We were extremely impressed with the marco/richards team, especially their experience of delivering high-impact campaigns for healthcare businesses like ours.

“They were undoubtedly a natural fit for us and we very much look forward to seeing the results they deliver.”

Jackie Martin, Veincentre’s chief marketing officer said: “This is a crucial time for VeinCentre as we continue to expand our services across the UK.

“We’ve worked with marco/richards previously and have seen first-hand the exceptional results the team deliver, so I am delighted to be partnering with them again.”

Dr Dominic Greenyer, co-owner of The Health Suite said: “We’ve been working with marco/richards for a couple of months now and have been extremely pleased with the results.

“The team have shown a deep understanding of our business and hit the ground running – we’re already seeing them put The Health Suite on the map.”

Martin Coutts, co-owner of marco/richards, added: “We’re delighted to welcome The National Heart Clinic, VeinCentre and The Health Suite to our roster.

“As a team of former journalists, we’re natural storytellers and each of these clients has a genuinely compelling story to tell.

“Healthcare is close to our hearts as an agency – no pun intended – and we have a long track record of delivering industry-leading media coverage for businesses in this sector.

“We can’t wait to get going!”
