A HEALTH communications firm has been crowned Specialist Consultancy of the Year at the prestigious PR Week Awards.

Pegasus is based in Church Street, Brighton, and employs 110 staff.

This accolade tops a trio of big awards for the company.

In June it was named EMEA Healthcare PR Consultancy of the Year at the Sabre Awards, and one month later it won Consultancy of the Year award at the 2016 Communiqué Awards in London.

MD Simon Hackett said: "We are delighted that our ‘health first, sector second’ approach, continued passion, and unique integrated offering is not only delivering results for our clients but also being recognised at such a high level across the industry.

"This latest recognition from PR Week has rounded off a highly successful year so far for Pegasus and we are proud of what our team continues to achieve for our clients."
