Member Spotlight: Grace James, Senior Account Director – The PHA Group

1. Introduce yourself

I’m Grace James, a Senior Account Director at The PHA Group. We’re a PR, Digital, Creative and Crisis Management agency, with teams across Manchester, Leeds, London and Wokingham.

I’m based in our Manchester office and head up our corporate team across the North, working closely with all kinds of B2B businesses to raise their profile in the media.

2. Name three words that describe your personality

Curious, determined and positive

3. What’s the best thing about pro-manchester

The breadth of events the committees produce. Being on the Pro Women committee I know how much thought and advance planning goes into every single event and the effort to create something that’s inclusive and accessible for everyone. As the committees grow and welcome new people these events only continue to evolve and become more and more inclusive.

4. What do you think are the most important things going on in Manchester at the moment?

Professional and legal services across the North, and Manchester in particular, is really coming into its own this year. That’s not to say we’ve not always had great firms in this space, we have – but it’s great to see Manchester being recognised a key professional services location across the nation too.

More and more national journalists are looking for insightful voices from beyond the capital and northern professional services businesses that can capitalise on this with a considered and targeted PR strategy will reap the rewards.

5. Favourite meeting place in Manchester

I love House of Books and Friends – it’s right round the corner from our office, has great coffee and has an ethos of trying to combat loneliness…and you can’t help but leave with a new book. What’s not to like?

6. Are there any particular types of businesses that you would like to meet

Any businesses in the professional services, legal and property sector that are looking to raise their profile and elevate their presence beyond regional media to have a national voice.
