This company manufactures a wide range of household products and has

offices both in the north of England and in London.

It uses a range of advertising agencies, including McCann-Erickson,

Saatchi & Saatchi and Cowan Kemsley Taylor. It has 29 brands in its

portfolio and spent around pounds 12m on advertising over the past

year.
