Deep South Media, a Poole-based press office company, has been named as the latest patron of Bournemouth Chamber of Trade and Commerce.

The consultancy is staffed by former news journalists and specialises in PR services as well as photography, video, design and content creation.

Deep South is Bournemouth Chamber's media partner, providing PR, photos, videos and more for the company's various activities.

Ron Wain, managing director of Deep South Media, said: “Our long-standing relationship with Dorset Chamber has generated great ROI. And with Bournemouth Chamber attracting new members we hope that it too will lead to new business.

“Already we are working with one if its patrons and hope to create new relationships. We were formed in the town and have always had Bournemouth clients, and while we now serve much of the south and UK, this is very much home turf.

“There is vast potential for the town in many areas and we fully intend to play our part as we have done for a quarter of a century.”
