MARKETING and communications specialist Appleby Bowers has boosted business with two new account wins.

Leading national independent contract catering company 7 Day Catering and speciaist coffee equipment supplier Chevron bring the Prestwich agency's specialist vending and catering portfolio to a total of eight.

Appleby Bowers' work for these two new clients consists primarily of public relations and, in particular, trade media campaigns.

But it also includes creative and design projects, typically the brief for its six existing vending and catering clients.

While the Bury Old Road business continues to attract the major players in the vending and catering industry, the agency's consumer customers include a national coach tour operator, a North West bakery chain and motor cycle insurance specialists.

On the business to business side, the nine-year-old firm services industrial cleaning, solutions providers, accommodation-only holiday specialists and a cashless vending technology company.

Managing partner Bernie Bowers said: "Winning 7 Day Catering and Chevron reinforces our specialism in the vending and catering sector but we are equally busy on the consumer front with the recent publication of a national, high circulation magazine for our client in motor cycle insurance."
