A MID-KENT marketing firm has cut the mustard by celebrating 20 years in business with an expansion of its services.

The Mustard Group - formerly known as Romain Marketing - is stepping up telemarketing and market research for clients.

Richard Romain, founder of the Larkfield-based company in 1982, devised a total sales development programme used by a wide range of industrial sectors to boost sales.

Mr Romain said: "We have an excellent, established telemarketing team which is able to respond to the needs of our clients. As well as continuing to provide our clients with qualified sales leads, we can now offer them market knowledge and insight, using our telemarketing expertise to conduct quality market research.

"As this is our twentieth anniversary, we thought it an excellent time to launch our new service and continue to play an active role in the South East business community."
