A Hartlepool-based business with global interests has continued its expansion with a key appointment.
Paul Gough Media has appointed Nick Loughlin as PR and Publishing Manager.
The operation, which also has an office in Florida overlooking Walt Disney World, provides marketing support and business coaching to private practice owners.
Owned by Paul Gough, who also has the well-established Physio Rooms under his name across the North-East, the media business has clients across the UK, USA, Spain, Canada and Australia.
Nick has returned to the company as part of its continuous growth – he is the 22nd new employee this year – and coincides with Paul launching his new book: Extraordinary Achievement, How To Get To The Next Level Of Success In Business And Life. He spent almost 27 years as Sports Editor and Teesside Editor at The Northern Echo.
Paul said: “Nick has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to writing and using the media and he is well respected for his time in mainstream journalism and sports writing. Ironically, I used to write a health and fitness column for him back in the day, so we have long enjoyed a good relationship.
“To have him back here after a year is a big plus not only for us, but also our clients who will benefit from his experience.”
Nick added: “It’s great to be back at a place I know well. The company has grown and developed immensely in the 16 months I’ve been away and it will only keep progressing globally under Paul’s leadership.
“There’s lots happening here – not many businesses have offices in both Hartlepool and Florida do they!”
