Turley hires Citypress as its retained UK and Ireland agency

Independent advisor, Turley, has appointed Citypress as its retained communications agency following a competitive pitch process.

Citypress will support Turley across its core business workstreams, including design, economics, EIA, expert witness, heritage, townscape & landscape, planning, strategic communications and sustainability & ESG.

The brief covers corporate communications and creative campaigning and will allow Citypress to support Turley to achieve its long-term vision of creating meaningful impact on the built environment and beyond, built on its impressive 40-year track record.

Like Citypress, Turley is an employee-owned company. It operates in major cities and growth areas from 15 offices in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Derry ~ Londonderry, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Reading and Southampton.

Stefan Redfern, Senior Director, Business Development and Marketing at Turley, said: “Having undertaken a competitive pitch process, we chose to partner with Citypress as we believe they have the insight and experience within the sectors that are most important to us to help us drive significant growth.

“Our focus now is on building brand awareness across our core workstreams and targeting new audiences as we continue our work to help our clients shape a more sustainable future, and we’re looking forward to working closely with Citypress to make this happen.”

Francesca Kilby, Associate Director at Citypress, said: “Turley is a business that we feel great alignment with – both employee-owned businesses with a strong presence in Manchester and with a real focus on sustainable growth that also supports the communities that we operate within. It’s also a brand that complements our existing roster of real estate clients perfectly and helps deepen our expertise across these core areas of the built environment.

“We started working together on the 1 May and we’ve been able to hit the ground running, so we can’t wait to see what it might be possible to achieve as our relationship grows further.”

Working with Turley adds even further depth to Citypress’ experience across the real estate sector, which includes partnering with some of the world’s leading experts in the built environment – including JLL, British Land, Bruntwood and Bruntwood SciTech, FEC and Clearbell Capital.
