PMA has been in the south-east for 28 years. We have always delivered high-quality training to customers around the UK. The demand for our communications skills workshops has significantly increased over recent years — reflecting changes in the media and business communications. Manchester is a booming hub of advertising & PR agencies and general business. It is also an ideal base from which to service clients across a wide area from Leeds to Liverpool and Chester, and from Preston to Stoke-on-Trent. Glasgow and Edinburgh are also key business and media centres, together incorporating the majority of business in Scotland.
