Welcome to Colman Getty...

...or, as we are now, Four Colman Getty

 

Colman Getty, the UK’s iconic culture and campaigning consultancy, is delighted to announce that we are joining Four Communications Group plc.

As Four Colman Getty, we will offer clients a greater range of services such as public affairs, website build, design and media buying, all under one roof.

Our clients matter and so do our people.  To quote Dotti Irving, CG’s Chief Executive:

‘After twenty five years of running Colman Getty, it has been a major decision to move into a larger arena. We wanted to merge with Four because the people there have the same commitment to their clients and their people as we have at Colman Getty.

‘We are hugely excited about the prospect of what we will achieve together in the future.’

For more information, please take a look at our news section or at the Four Colman Getty section of the Four Communications website.
