The acquisition sees Phoenix move into the holding company of The Scott Partnership Ltd to operate as a wholly owned stand-alone business. The addition of Phoenix Marcom marks the second acquisition since July 2011 for Scott Partnership Holdings Ltd, as it continues to expand its offering in scientific markets with three strong autonomous brands.
CEO Kath Darlington explains "Phoenix Marcom is a strong, established business, with a solid record of scientific, full-service marketing in Europe. The company provides its clients with a broad portfolio of marketing services, and has an impressive customer base. Our intention is that Phoenix will remain autonomous, servicing its predominantly European clients, retaining its focus in the Cambridge area, via the existing Phoenix team. The founder of Phoenix Marcom, Paul Carter, will join The Scott Partnership to support our expansion in Europe. All five companies in Scott Partnership Holdings will now offer PR and marketing services, specializing in healthcare and life sciences markets worldwide."
"The acquisition fits with our strategy for controlled growth, as we strengthen our footprint both globally and locally. In Europe, three brands located in the scientific hubs of Manchester and Cambridge now serve clients internationally, while our companies based in Boston, USA and Shanghai, China develop our business in North America and the Far East and provide locally based support for all clients."
The three brands, led by flagship The Scott Partnership, supported by Kapler and now Phoenix Marcom, are building an untouchable service offering in healthcare and life sciences.
Paul Carter, founder of Phoenix Marcom (PhoenixMarcom.co.uk), is also the UK and Eire delegate for the DECHEMA Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (DECHEMA is the organiser of ACHEMA, the largest process industry trade show which takes place in Germany on a tri-annual basis). He will retain this role.
