Grayling has announced a series of investments that will bolster the agency's footprint in Manchester and across the North of England. The move will signal a major expansion for Grayling Manchester, which will now replicate the full-service offering of Grayling's London HQ, providing consumer brand, corporate, public affairs, experiential and digital services to clients. 

Board member, Kat McGettigan, who joined Grayling two years ago to lead its consumer practice, is relocating from the company's London HQ to head up the expanded Manchester presence and the agency's wider investment programme across the North. 

Grayling Manchester will help service a number of the agency's key networked clients including M&S, BT, YPO, Visa and HSBC, while recent wins including Eurovia UK, Mookie Toys and One Manchester will be serviced from both the Manchester and Leeds offices.
