The Mission Group's April Six acquires Proof Communicaion

The acquisition of the London-based agency, which has expertise in science, engineering and technology PR, has been described by the new owning company as ‘not substantial’ although the board does expect it to make a ‘positive contribution’ to the group’s current and upcoming financial year, it has said.

David Morgan, executive chairman of the Mission Group, said: "We are delighted to welcome another high quality business into The Mission family. Proof is an excellent complement to our existing technology offering and we look forward to developing our capabilities further. "

Richard Moss, a co-founder of Proof, added: "Over the last decade, we have grown Proof into one of the most respected science, engineering and technology communication companies in Europe; helping Clients clearly communicate complex subjects and issues to the people they need to influence. By combining Proof's PR services with April-Six's exceptional capabilities in technology marketing, we can meet the growing demand from technical organisations for more innovative and integrated communication programmes.”

The agency will become part of technology agency, April Six.
