Advent Communications has helped put the Coventry University Group under both the regional and national spotlight.

The group has announced the launch of CU London, its new campus based in Dagenham, as well as the opening of its £14million state-of-the-art CU Scarborough campus.

The CU London announcement was featured in The Times as well as on BBC Radio 5 Live, which saw CEO and Director of Coventry University College John Dishman interviewed by Adrian Chiles on air. It also received media coverage in both London and Coventry.

This was followed by an event at the new CU Scarborough campus which was officially opened by Welcome to Yorkshire Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity.

The opening attracted media attention from regional news programme BBC Look North as well as the Yorkshire Post, BBC Radio York and other local media.
