Zissman bulks up Rewired PR
The former lord mayor of Birmingham Sir Bernard Zissman has been appointed chairman of Rewired PR.
The Birmingham communications agency made the announcement as it celebrated its third birthday.
Ruth Pipkin, managing director at Rewired PR said: "I first met Sir Bernard at Birmingham University 11 years ago where, as a history undergraduate, I worked as a researcher on his first book.
"We have stayed in touch ever since and Sir Bernard’s extensive experience within both the public and private sectors has been a huge support and inspiration to me.
"Rewired has grown beyond my expectations within the first three years and by combining Sir Bernard’s considerable business expertise with the innovation and ambition of the team I'm confident that we will continue to develop apace and offer an unrivalled service to our clients."
As well as working as lord mayor in the city, Sir Bernard served as a city councillor for several years.
Sir Bernard said: "Birmingham’s reputation as an innovative centre for the creative and communication industries is growing by the day. For me to join at this time the young and professional team at Rewired is both exciting and challenging as the company reaches out beyond our city to expand its client base."
