Rubber duo set up new UK communications agency 

Hertford, UK – Two UK rubber-industry marketing specialists have set up a communications agency to serve the global elastomer sector and its suppliers.

Rubber Heart, based in Hertford, north of London, was formed earlier this year by co-directors David Cawthra and Gail Reader, a company statement announced 30 April.

The two founders have more than 50 years of combined experience in the industry, having previously worked for Rubber Consultants/Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre R&D and testing facility.

Set up to fill “a gap in the market”, Rubber Heart will offer a “friendly approach, ready-made network of contacts and access to the industry worldwide,” according to Cawthra.

The agency believes that its expertise will help businesses remain visible at a time when major events have been cancelled or postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are offering clients enhanced digital marketing opportunities to engage with potential new customers and suppliers, launch new products and exchange research innovations and ideas,” Reader added.

Rubber Heart is currently the social media sponsor for the UK-based Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3) Rubber in Engineering Group.
