Creative communications agency drp has announced the acquisition of HMX Corporate Communication Ltd, the Buckinghamshire based agency. This acquisition extends the reach of the business and increases the total team count to over 280, further enhancing drp’s position as leaders in the industry.

HMX is a leading video, digital media, and live events business with a strong, professional services and high-tech client base – serving clients in the Big four accounting firms, major consultancies, key law firms and high tech businesses such as Bosch Siemens Homecare, Perkin Elmer and GE Healthcare. With a strongly led team and a passion for engaging audiences, through compelling video production and innovative animation, they will be adding a fresh perspective to the drp team.

Tim Horrox, managing director at HMX, says, “This is an exciting transition for us at HMX and I am hugely excited about where this partnership can take us. With the experience and expertise of the team at drp in digital projects and live events, and their established track record in video, this is a very beneficial move for us all.”

Dale Parmenter, group CEO of drp, adds, “We are thrilled to have HMX on board as part of the drp team and we are looking forward to expanding our capacity and extending our capability as a business, helping to support our mission statement of being the company of choice. HMX is an established, creative and distinguished agency which we are very much looking forward to welcoming into our team and bringing their expertise into our business.”

The drp team is experiencing exponential growth with HMX the second acquisition within a year. In September 2017, the drp group acquired events agency, Penguins, further contributing to its long term strategic growth and development plans.
