London, Manchester, Munich, 13 May 2005 … Northbank Communications, the full service PR and marketing consultancy focused on science-based companies, has announced the promotion of Dr Marc Egelhofer to Account Manager and Tracy Williamson to Studio Coordinator.

Marc joined Northbank as an Account Executive in April 2004, relocating from Frankfurt to the UK. In that time he has supported a number of client initiatives, mainly focused on PR and media relations, including projects for HUGO, Post-Genome Science Consortium, Peakdale Molecular, Cobra Biomanufacturing, Biocentral, Genomic Solutions, Biacore and Sigma-Aldrich. Throughout the year, Marc has taken on increasing responsibilities for the successful planning and implementation of these initiatives. His promotion recognises his increased responsibilities and contribution to the successful outcomes that he’s achieved for Northbank’s clients.

Tracy joined Northbank in November 2003 as Office Administrator in the Congleton office. Tracy has gained a thorough understanding of Northbank’s business, procedures and clients, and is thus well equipped to meet her new challenges as Studio Coordinator. Responsibilities will include costing, scheduling and quality control to ensure that Northbank delivers client work within agreed budgets and timelines and to the highest quality standard.

Commenting on both promotions, Peter Colley, Director and co-founder of Northbank said, “Northbank’s continued growth is underpinned by the success our clients enjoy as a result of marketing and PR initiatives we undertake for them. This success comes from the skills and expertise of our staff. These promotions recognise the contributions made by Marc and Tracy and demonstrate our commitment to staff development. I wish them both every success in their new positions.”
