Zoe Ensor to lead PPS Manchester team

PPS Group, which is part of Newgate Communications, has appointed Zoe Ensor as partner to lead its Manchester team.

Previously, Ensor was a director at Good Relations and has worked as director of external relations at MIDAS, Manchester’s investment and development agency. She has also worked in communications at Manchester Airport.

Ensor said: “I am incredibly excited to be joining the PPS Group, and, in particular, the Manchester team – right in the heart of the Northern Quarter of the city that I am proud to call home. These are exciting times for the north of the UK as we start to see the true impact of the Northern Powerhouse -which stretches from Sheffield and Leeds City Regions, right through Manchester and Liverpool and the whole of the northwest. PPS has the gravitas, innovation and scale to be able to help our clients take full advantage of this period of growth.”

Ensor, who joined PPS in May, will lead the existing client portfolio that includes National Grid, Peel, Himor, Jaguar Landrover and Electricity Northwest.

Andy Martin, managing partner at PPS Group, added: “Zoe has an excellent track record and we’re delighted to add her to our brilliant team. The – often talked about – offer of integrated communications across the business is something she truly understands, and we’re delighted to be delivering.”
