1284 Communications has moved into larger office space in Loughborough as the industry award-winning PR consultancy continues to grow.
The team moved into a new building on the Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park campus at the start of August.
After operating from the LUinc. workspace in the Holywell Building since launch, 1284 now has larger space at the nearby Advanced Technology and Innovation Centre (ATIC).
1284 is a CIPR Chartered PR consultancy, founded by George Oliver in 2020 to provide effective and measurable B2B and G2B strategic communications to innovative organisations in the East Midlands.
The move to ATIC supports the company's growth ambitions while keeping it at the heart of the East Midlands innovation community.
The move will provide a solid foundation for the ongoing expansion and investment in 1284 as a premium PR consultancy in Leicestershire.
Managing Director George Oliver said: “1284 had a good year of growth last year and maintained that momentum into 2024-25.
“It got us thinking about where we are going next - in July we celebrated four years of 1284 and the time felt right to make the move.
“We were keen to stay on the LUSEP site and ATIC is a great fit for us and the work we do in the innovation space.”
The office move coincides with the expansion of the 1284 team. Lauren Cropper started as 1284’s new Account Executive in the same week as the switch to ATIC.
