One of the biggest healthcare communications firms in the UK is moving 14 miles along the coast from Worthing to Brighton.

Pegasus, which is approaching 20 years in business, made the move due to the city’s thriving digital and creative sectors and the recruitment pull of Brighton and Hove.

In the last six years Pegasus has increased staff numbers from 20 to 70, tripled its income and was ranked 22nd on The Sunday Times ‘100 Best Places to Work’ (2014).

Founder and managing director Lisa Bradley said: “Whilst Worthing has been a good home for us and helped us get to where we are today, Brighton is actually where the company began all those years ago – in Hove actually. In many ways it feels like we’re coming home.

“Brighton offers new opportunities that we are keen to uncover, and being the digital hub of the UK will allow us to strengthen our digital division further. We look forward to supporting the business community and hope to integrate ourselves as well as we have in Worthing.”

Pegasus has moved from traditional PR to communications across the social, digital and creative sector. The company moved to Sovereign House, Church Street, on Monday.
