Housing Plus, a midlands based housing association, has appointed Golley Slater to handle its public relations following a five way pitch.

A PR push is being mounted by the client on the back of a recent re-branding exercise, which saw the organisation drop its previous title of Central Borders Housing Group.

Slater intends to extend the brands reach into areas outwith traditional housing by raising the agency’s media profile. This will be affected through management of regional, national and trade media.
