What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is to make the UK the best place to start and grow a company – helping create the business growth that contributes to better jobs and higher wages and living standards.

DBT is looking for a specialist B2B PR agency. The agency must have proven capabilities to provide PR strategies that support securing proactive PR coverage across a range of domestic media outlets.
