Beachhut PR, the Ireland-based PR agency for tech companies, has announced the opening of its new UK office in Shoreditch, East London.
The agency said this marks the next chapter in its European expansion and coincides with London Web3 Week, which focuses on the city's fintech ecosystem.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Dublin, Beachhut has established offices in Belfast and Amsterdam, and represents European and US clients across the technology spectrum.
Led by founder Paul Hayes and CEO Niall McLoughlin, Beachhut's clients include Coinbase and SumUp, as well as a mix of high-growth scaleups in both the Web3 and established fintechs - from neo-banking to payments.
Niall McLoughlin, Beachhut PR CEO, said that for ambitious Irish companies, the UK is often the first export market - and for many global firms, London is their European command centre.
"It is one of the world's most influential financial and technology capitals, and is a market Beachhut has served from Dublin for many years," the CEO said.
"Being physically here will allow us to meet clients where they make decisions, and gain direct proximity to the unique business, media and talent networks that exist here," he added.
"Establishing a London office is a natural progression for our brand," Paul Hayes, founder of Beachhut PR said.
"With the UK driving 40% of Europe's fintech investment, and London at its core, demand for strategic communications has never been stronger," he noted.
Leading the London operation is Beachhut PR Account Director, Sophie Charlotte, who will manage growth and client partnerships across the region.
"With trade in goods and services between Ireland and the UK reaching £82.2 billion, our two economies are more connected than ever," she said.
"We're committed to building on that relationship and tapping into the UK's thriving tech ecosystem, which offers exciting opportunities for growth," she added.
