A MOVE to brand new, purpose-built offices marked the end of a Port firm’s best ever year of business.

Event Marketing Solutions (EMS), which used to be based in Little Stanney, recently moved to the town’s new Lakeside development.

The award-winning company, which specialises in face-to-face mobile marketing campaigns, will provide more space for the business’ 46-strong team.

It will for the first time incorporate a secure, on-site vehicle park for its extensive roadshow fleet, which is the largest in the UK.

The move coincides with another success for EMS, which has just passed a re-certification audit confirming its compliance with the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard.

Managing director Keith Austin said: “This is a fantastic way to sign off a record year of business.

“The new offices reflect our status as a fast-growing company and will provide us, for the first time, with a dedicated headquarters to house all aspects of our operation.

“Achieving the ISO 9000 re-accreditation is a great achievement, and something I am personally extremely proud of.

“When I set up EMS eight years ago, my vision was to deliver the same high quality of service offered by leading national and international businesses, and this accreditation proves we are up there with the best.”
