Our world at Advent Communications has been getting smaller of late as we spread our international wings.

Senior account manager Alison McConkey has been busy making cross-border calls on behalf of our client with cross-border business interests, DFK International, in recent weeks.

With over 400 offices in more than 90 countries, the top ten worldwide accountancy association certainly has a big global reach so Alison is used to looking up international dialling codes to speak to member firms for its PR.

Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, Honduras and Canada are among the far-flung destinations that have been on her radar – not forgetting closer-to-home London and the Midlands where firms have recently joined the expanding association.
