PRCA Announces Latest Recruit

London, 2 September - The PRCA today announced its latest member of staff, Vicky King.
 
As Groups Development Manager,  Vicky will head up the PRCA's regional and sectoral groups. She joins after 4 years at the CIPR, where she was the Groups Development Officer.
 
Her key responsibility will be to support the PRCA's 30 groups in extending further their reach and range of activities.
 
Francis Ingham, chief executive, commented:
"We're delighted to welcome Vicky to the PRCA team. I've known Vicky for the past four years, and I know how integral she was in making the CIPR's groups successful. I'm therefore very happy that she's made the move to the PRCA. Our groups are already autonomous, vibrant bodies, bringing together the best people in their field. Vicky's support will only redouble their success."
 
Vicky King added:
I'm very much looking forward to making the move to the PRCA which will offer me a fresh and challenging opportunity to grow and develop their groups and work closely with many of the country's top PR professionals.
