PPL News and Photo Agency has launched a 24-hour service to supply stories and pictures to the national newspapers and major magazines throughout Britain.

The agency is based near Arundel, midway between Brighton and Portsmouth, and covers a large area of the South Coast.

Its team of photographers are all equipped with the latest digital cameras and mobile transmission systems and use the NewsLink service to get their pics through to the papers as quickly as possible.

PPL also has a large archive of stock photographs specialising in watersports, business and industry and travel and historic scenes.

It also has a 15,000 strong collection covering Sussex and the Home Counties.

All are available to search, browse and download in hi-res from www.pplmedia.com.
