The telephone fundraising company has won five new clients in recent months, including Scope and Book Aid International. Existing clients such as Premier Christian Radio, Asthma UK and World Cancer Research Fund have all recently renewed their contracts. Peter Kerridge, Managing Director at Premier Christian Radio said that PTF’s ideas were sound and “we are making a significant investment in telemarketing this year as a result”. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

It also enhances the profitability of other fundraising methods including legacy marketing, where we have seen significant growth this year.” PTF have introduced a special projects area with a capacity of 300,000 contacts per year to manage new business and new product development. Rob Reaks, PTF’s CEO, added: “We are continuing to develop new ideas to complement our existing range of services, using technology and database analysis to further enhance the return on investment secured for our clients whilst increasing our turnover.” * **[Arthritis Care launches ‘People Like Us’ appeal](https://fundraising.co.uk/2007/10/08/arthritis-care-launches-people-us039-appeal/)**( 8 October 2007) * **[iConcertina Creative Ltd merges with Openface Internet Inc](https://fundraising.co.uk/2007/10/17/iconcertina-creative-ltd-merges-openface-internet-inc/)**( 17 October 2007) * **[Cascaid merges with Ideas Eurobrand to form new agency](https://fundraising.co.uk/2007/10/22/cascaid-merges-ideas-eurobrand-form-new-agency/)**( 22 October 2007)
