PRESS RELEASE

Thriving Leicester Business celebrates Birthday amidst recession doom and gloom

City Centre PR and Marketing Consultancy Blue Cherry have celebrated their second birthday this week and proved that there are still some Leicester companies thriving despite the recession.

Mark Crosby, the 27-year old who originally set-up Blue Cherry in a spare bedroom before moving into a city centre office, said:


“Every year is a landmark and cause for celebration, but the fact that we are continuing to grow through the recession is heartening not just for us, but also a good sign for the Leicestershire business community.

We love being based in Leicester and working with Leicestershire companies; over the last year we have expanded to work with businesses and media outlets across the UK and Scandinavia, and over the next year we’re hoping to increase our workforce and provide more opportunities for people to work at Blue Cherry.  The future is bright despite the recession.”


Eric Carveth, Leicestershire Area Manager for the regional Business Link service says “It’s refreshing to hear of businesses in Leicester that are doing well.  Blue Cherry is a great example of how, with the right business model, skill and commitment levels, a young business can not only survive, but can grow and compete on a national level.”
 
Stephen Smith, Chief Executive of EMB Ltd, responsible for delivering the regional Business Link service adds: "Its great that local companies such as Blue Cherry are making the most of the Business Link service to help them start, maintain and grow their business. 

Accessing and utilising professional business expertise is always valuable and is even more important in the current economic climate. Leicestershire boasts a diverse economy and our aim is to enable companies to access the best business support and advice available to help them to realise their full potential and achieve their goals. 

We wish  Mark and the team at  Blue Cherry every success with their continued growth."
