Westminster City Council joins PRCA
Westminster City Council has become the first public sector organisation to join the PRCA, opening the membership to new organisations.
The decision by the PRCA's Board of Management to welcome Westminster City Council opens membership of the PR trade association to a much broader range of organisations Alex Aiken, Head of Communications for Westminster City Council, said: "Membership of the PRCA is something we have been interested in for a while and I am delighted that we are now able to demonstrate that we adhere to the same high standards of performance and ethics as other PRCA members"
Francis Ingham, director general of the PRCA, said: "Westminster City Council has an outstanding reputation and I am delighted to welcome them as members.
"In operating as the first local authority to provide PR consultancy services to external clients they have broken new ground in this area, as in so many others.
"There are a lot of PR teams that would benefit from membership of the PRCA but are currently unable to join.
"By accepting a wider range of organisations as members, the PRCA will raise the standards of PR across the country".
