A public relations firm has been named the seventh-best performing consultancy in the industry over the past five years.

Pegasus PR, based in Worthing, was the only Sussex-based firm - and one of only a few outside London - to make the list, compiled by trade magazine PR Week.

Founder and managing director Lisa Bradley said: "Being named one of the UK's top-ten performers over the past five years is an amazing achievement when you consider the quantity and quality of agencies in the public relations industry."

Pegasus was also ranked at No. 97 in PR Week's list of the UK's top 150 consultancies.

The 20-strong firm, in Liverpool Gardens, represents some of the biggest names in the health and beauty sector, including Holland and Barrett and Montagne Jeunesse.
