A public relations agency which counts Tarmac among its clients has recruited two new journalists to its team.

Cartwright Communications has announced the appointment of Nottinghamshire-based Hannah Mitchell and Danielle Hall.

Hannah has spent the past three years with the Nottingham Post, while Danielle worked for local television station Notts TV.

Hannah, pictured below left with Danielle, will be supporting with PR campaigns, media liaison and event management in her new role.

She told West Bridgford Wire: “I am very excited to join the team at Cartwright Communications. Moving across from journalism to the world of PR was a daunting step but I am looking forward to being able to use all the skills I have developed as a digital journalist in this new role.

“The team has been very welcoming and I am eager to learn from their experience and knowledge in the sector.”

Danielle added: “Taking the leap into PR felt like moving into a completely different world after my years in journalism. But the team at Cartwright Communications were so welcoming and helpful in my first weeks at the company that I was made to feel at home straight away.

“I’m looking forward to working alongside such a passionate, hardworking team and honing my skills in a new industry.”

Liz Cartwright, managing director at the Nottingham-based agency, said: “We are really excited to welcome Danielle and Hannah to Cartwright. Both of these talented ex-journalists have a real understanding of what makes a strong story and the components that make content truly compelling for media outlets and their readers.

“We are continuing to grow our client portfolio with big names including Addo Food Group and Tarmac. So, we really are already starting this year with a great range of clients and a very talented team of PR professionals.”
