UK-based PR firm Premier is expanding to the North of England, with new offices opening in Manchester.

Premier North will be led by Elizabeth Taylor, who is based in Manchester. The new offices are based in the Deansgate district in the centre of the city, near the Old Granada Studios building.

Taylor previously worked with Premier from 2012 to 2019; she will continue to handle publicity for Sundance Film Festival: London, plus UK and international clients. Nikki Murray, senior associate director in Premier’s television team, will also be based in Premier North.

Premier’s existing clients in the north of England include Manchester Film Festival, Sheffield DocFest and Quay Street Productions.

“Being born and educated in Yorkshire I have long been aware of the cultural importance of cities outside of London,” said John Reiss, Premier founder and executive chairman. “Entertainment and media in the north of England is some of the most exciting and diverse in the world and we need to be right in amongst it. Our audiences are everywhere and with this further stage in Premier’s expansion, soon we shall be too.”
