About Creston plc
Creston's strategy is to build a diversified international marketing services
group through a combination of organic growth and selective acquisitions. The
Board's aim is to identify synergistic benefits between currently independent
marketing services companies offering premium services such as market research,
direct marketing, customer relationship marketing and other areas of marketing
communications.
Since January 2001, when the Company was repositioned as a marketing services
group, Creston has made five significant acquisitions, which have demonstrated
growth despite difficult market conditions:
January 2001 Acquisition of Marketing Sciences Limited, an
international quantitative and qualitative market
research company, based in Winchester
November 2001 Acquisition of The Real Adventure Marketing
Communications Limited, a national marketing
communications company, based in Bath
December 2002 Acquisition of EMO Group Limited, a national channel
marketing communications company, based in Swindon
and Bristol
October 2003 Acquisition of Nelson Bostock Communications Limited,
a London based public relations agency
September 2004 Acquisition of CML Research Limited, a London based
qualitative market research business
Together these companies boast a range of blue-chip clients including Lloyds
Black Horse, Unilever, Kimberly-Clark, Tesco, Toshiba, Canon, BMW (UK), MINI,
Pfizer, Cow & Gate, Bacardi-Martini, Post Office, Tropicana, Nestle Rowntree,
NEC, NTL, George Wimpey, Andreas Stihl and Vodafone.
