Be Heard Group plc announced that since launch two years ago, the company has built an integrated marketing services group via acquisition. Having completed five acquisitions in two years, the group's focus moves to integrating these operations to serve clients more effectively and thus drive organic growth. To oversee the next phase, and support the demands of the Group, the company has strengthened the management structure. Peter Scott will become Group Chief Executive with immediate effect, having served as Executive Chairman since Be Heard's launch in November 2015. Having created the Group and driven the first phase of acquisition-led growth, Peter's focus will shift to the integration and development of Be Heard's operations and offering. David Morrison has been appointed as non-executive Chairman with immediate effect, having served as a non-executive Director since August 2017. Additionally, the Board has decided to separate the roles of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and will look to appoint a new Chief Financial Officer in the next few months. Until an appointment is made, Robin Price will continue in both roles.

The company reported revenue results for the year ended December 31, 2017. Revenue growth has remained strong, with the second half of 2017 expected to outperform the first half significantly. Across the Group the organic revenue growth of the operating companies in 2017 is 24% up on 2016.
