ANOTHER three additions have been made to the crew of a Bolton marketing agency.

Samantha Levene, Anthony Kelly and Matthew Hoy are now on board at The Audit Lab.

This brings the Chorley New Road venture's recruitment surge to five since the start of the year.

Bosses at the Devon House firm say this expansion has been mirrored for client growth, with audience engagement agency Never.no and hi-tech software company Morphean plumping for their services.

Anthony joins as a technical SEO executive, Samantha will be a part of the creative team, as a digital PR executive, and Matt will be a PPC executive after graduating in journalism at Uclan.

"The creativity and passion coming from The Audit Lab is what brought me here, but the supportive, friendly culture makes me want to come into work every day," said Anthony.

Samantha added: "I’m thrilled to be part of a team that keeps its clients at the heart, and I am excited to see how the company will evolve further."

Meanwhile Matt said: "I love seeing great results from well thought-out ads. I can't wait to learn more, and I can't think of a better company to guide me."

Company co-founder Claire Crompton has not ruled out further growth before the year is out.

She added: "We were impressed with the enthusiasm and unique point of view coming from the new hires.

"Snapping them up was a no-brainer. And with additional clients joining our roster every month, we are also hoping to establish an apprenticeship scheme to offer young adults the chance to take their first steps into the world of digital marketing.

"The Audit Lab is growing much faster than we ever anticipated and we're confident that the future of this agency will be an exciting one."

Nick Boyle and Ellie Entwistle joined their ranks in May and the firm recently moved into new and larger office accommodation.
