Creative communications agency The fresh Group is continuing to expand its business this year with the addition of 13 new starters in the past three months.

Following significant client wins and a record start to the year, the Cheshire-based agency has added to the account management, digital, design, exhibitions and finance teams.

Polly Galatin has joined as account manager from ICE, alongside Robyn Price and Isabel Waxman as account executives. This expansion will be supported by Sharon Tipping, who joins as finance executive.

The fresh Group is expected to release its trading results soon and says it has seen “an unpredecent trading period.”

Managing director Patrick Howells commented: “We kicked off 2012 being ranked as the number one agency outside London for growth and, following another extraordinary year, we are thrilled to welcome new team members to every division within fresh. With an ever-expanding client portfolio, which features some of the biggest brands in the world, our new talent will support the delivery of a number of high-profile projects in the coming months and enable us to consistently meet the high standards on which we pride ourselves.”
