The drpgroup has once again expanded its team as the agency continues to grow throughout 2010. The group has set a series of ambitious targets as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations and following the announcement that seven new team members had joined the drpgroup in April and May, a further seven new people have joined in June and August.

It was revealed at the drpgroup company conference that the team had achieved 75% of its £5 million gross profit target for the year already and these new team members will help the group stay on track to achieve continued growth.

The drpevents team have taken on two new events assistants, Claire Holmes and Heather Pedwell, to aid the project management team with new projects. Andrea Lynch has joined the group's venue sourcing service, thevenuepot.com, as a venue resource co-ordinator to help this division as it expands. Christina Meredith has joined the drptechnicalservices team as a production manager assisting the technical team in managing the group's large-scale production projects.

The drpvideo team has also expanded, bringing on board production assistant Dan Gauld and senior producer Sam Jones as the drpvideo team continues to grow its client base and deliver more projects. Vicky Cashmore has also joined the drpteam as a new administrative assistant, helping the group manage the ever increasing volume of information coming into the business.

More vacancies will be announced towards the end of 2010 as the group aims to hit its target of 30 new team members employed this year.

Jane Jones, director of drpevents, said: "As part of our long term growth strategy, we have been looking at expanding the team strategically to help our project managers deliver the best service possible to clients. In taking on new events assistants, we are also hiring our project managers of the future. They will get the chance to learn from our experienced team and develop their skills and understanding of the role making our team stronger as we begin new projects with clients old and new."
