Bridger Howes Limited was launched by Mark Bridger and Richard Howes, formerly producers of lifting equipment magazines, online products, events and related media. To realise lifelong ambitions to have their own business, Mark and Richard setup a public relations and content company, which promotes crane, hoist, rigging and other businesses to target audiences.

Detecting a gap in the market for a public relations company that understands the lifting industry and the sectors that consume its equipment, Bridger Howes was started to produce press releases, articles, case studies, newsletters, company magazines and blogs, whilst managing social media accounts and more.

Social Media Management New to Twitter? Struggling to grow followers? No time to Tweet?

Social media platforms like Twitter are becoming an increasingly important marketing tool for crane and hoist companies, as industrial end users and target audiences look to engage with suppliers of the equipment that lift and move their businesses.

• Daily Tweets • Growth of Followers• Engagement with Target Audiences• Promotion of Products and Trade Show Appearances• Live Tweeting from Events

From organising our annual advertising schedule and negotiating with the trade media, to social media management and press releases, they have exceeded our expectations and we have embraced them as part of the Straightpoint team, integral to our future plans. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
