Manchester-based PR agency Hendrix Rose PR appointed by Ripple Group to raise national profile of leading retail design agency

Manchester PR agency Hendrix Rose PR has been appointed by retail design specialist Ripple Group to deliver a strategic communications programme as the business looks to strengthen its position as one of the UK's leading retail design and manufacturing partners.

After more than four decades of quietly building a reputation through exceptional client work and word-of-mouth recommendations, Ripple Group is investing in a proactive PR and communications strategy designed to elevate its national profile and showcase its expertise across retail design, customer experience and British manufacturing.

Based in Oldham, UK, Ripple has spent over 40 years designing and manufacturing bespoke retail displays, showrooms and customer-facing environments for some of the country's best-known brands, including Barbour, Trespass, Little Greene, Topps Tiles and Laura Ashley.

The appointment marks an exciting new chapter for the business as it continues to grow its portfolio, launch new products and strengthen its manufacturing capabilities.

Working closely with the leadership team, Hendrix Rose PR will deliver an integrated communications programme encompassing media relations, thought leadership, spokesperson profiling and project storytelling. The agency will also support Ripple with award submissions, strategic campaigns and events, alongside a measurement framework designed to demonstrate commercial impact.

The partnership comes at a significant moment for Ripple, following the launch of its innovative modular retail system, continued investment in its in-house manufacturing division, Red Manufacturing, and an expanding portfolio of retail and showroom projects across the UK.

Gemma Eccleston, Managing Director of Hendrix Rose PR, said: "Ripple has an outstanding story to tell. It has spent more than four decades building a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, innovation and quality, and now is the right time to bring that expertise to a wider audience. We're excited to support the team as they build their profile, showcase their capabilities and establish Ripple as a leading voice in retail environments, customer experience and British manufacturing."

Eliot Ramshead, Marketing Manager at Ripple Group, said: "We've built a successful business by delivering exceptional work and developing long-term relationships with our clients, but we're now focused on increasing awareness of who we are and what we do. Hendrix Rose PR demonstrated a clear understanding of our ambitions and the opportunities within our sector. We're looking forward to working together to raise our profile, share our expertise and strengthen Ripple's position as a trusted partner for retailers and brands across the UK."

The appointment reflects a growing trend among established manufacturing and design businesses investing in strategic communications to support commercial growth. While Ripple's reputation has historically been built through referrals and long-standing client relationships, the business is now taking a more visible role within the retail design sector, sharing insight, celebrating innovation and highlighting the value of British manufacturing.

For Hendrix Rose PR, the partnership further strengthens the agency's growing portfolio of clients across manufacturing and retail, helping ambitious businesses tell the stories behind their success.

As Ripple enters its next phase of growth, the focus will be on ensuring its expertise, innovation and manufacturing heritage receive the national recognition they deserve.
