Colchester-based PR and media training agency Mosaic Publicity has started the new year with a double celebration.

The company has been awarded two accolades - recognition as an Investor in People and full accreditation from the UK's leading public relations industry professional body, the Institute of Public Relations (IPR), as an approved media and PR training provider.

Director Karen Ainley said: "It's been a fantastic start to 2005. We were thrilled to achieve Investor in People status as we have always been very conscious that people are an organisation's greatest asset."

Meanwhile, Wollastons solicitors, of Chelmsford, which now employs 105 people, has been re-accredited as an Investor in People - three years after first achieving the award.
