A YORK PR company has won the contract to raise the profile a boutique bed an breakfast on the outskirts of the city.

Kendra PR, based in Blake House, which specialises in clients in the food and drink industry, has been appointed by Deighton Lodge to lead a new PR and marketing campaign.

Rob Clayton, manager of Deighton Lodge, near Deighton off the A19, said: "The converted farm house was bought in December 2013 and a new management team was put in place by the owners along with an extensive refurbishment programme.

"Now is the right time to bring Kendra PR and her team on board to showcase all that Deighton Lodge has to offer."

Kendra Grahame-Clarke, owner of Kendra PR said: "Deighton Lodge is a fantastic win for the business. The house and grounds are superb and can lend themselves to a variety of uses such as a private house party, a wedding venue, a family weekend away or a great night's sleep for a business traveller working in the city or passing through."
