COMMUNICATIONS agency Adams Creative has joined forces with Locate in Kent as a corporate partner.

The Maidstone-based media agency will be supporting the county's inward investment drive by offering its marketing and public relations knowledge to companies looking to expand in or relocate to Kent.

Since 1997 Locate in Kent has helped more than 260 companies discover the benefits of relocating to or expanding within the county. Between them these companies have created almost 14,000 new jobs.

Mike Adams, managing director, said: "Having operated successfully in Kent for more than 20 years it's plain the region derives its strength from the companies already doing business here.

“And raising our own profile as a Locate in Kent partner, will provide this agency with valuable opportunities for networking with local, national and international companies."

Mandy Bearne, Locate in Kent director of research and development, added: "Adams Creative's support for the inward investment aims of Kent will help us to convince new investors that this county is the place to be."
