Two of the management team of communications agency Orchard PR – Brooke Kenyon and Chris Chilton – have acquired the company from its founders, Steve and Lois Falla.
They will lead Orchard with immediate effect, with Brooke as Client Services Director and Chris as Operations Director. Steve Falla will remain in the business as Executive Consultant.
Steve commented: “Lois and I know this transition will sustain Orchard’s passion, energy and focus to enable it to build on 21 years of success and continue to thrive in the future. Brooke and Chris have made an enormous contribution to the development of the company in recent years and it is now time for them to take control and drive it forward.”
Chris, who has worked with Orchard for almost nine years as an Account Director, spent his early career in the media, public sector and finance industry in London.
Brooke has also worked in London with a range of consumer lifestyle brands, and has been with Orchard as an Account Director for nine years.
The PR firm employs 13 people and has clients in Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
