The majority of the business is currently handled by OMD, Profero has the online plannng and buying business while Michaelides and Bednash handles communications planning.

OMD has been invited to repitch for the combined business with a shortlist of agencies expected within the month. A pitch will take place in June and will be be overseen by group marketing director, Polly Cochrane (pictured).
