BOURNEMOUTH advertising and marketing agency Aylesworth Fleming has announced its biggest win since acquiring the Taylor Woodrow property account in 2004.

It has won the multi-million- pound Galliford Try Homes group account after a competitive pitch against the incumbent agency.

The Galliford Try Group includes brands such as Linden Homes, Midas Homes and Stamford Homes with developments stretching from Cornwall to Yorkshire.

“The last 18 months have been incredibly difficult for us,” said Aylesworth Fleming chairman Matt Fleming.

“Our specialisation in the housing sector meant we were among the first to experience the unprecedented and dramatic downturn – so this win is enormously important.

“This new account has secured at least a dozen jobs within the agency.”

He also said: “Last year was a very difficult year for me personally. After nearly 20 years of uninterrupted growth and success, it has been very hard to say goodbye to valued colleagues and friends.”
