Agencies scramble to win London Gateway contract

DP World, the company that owns the London Gateway project in Thurrock, is searching for a B2B agency to support the £1.5bn development.

Advertising and PR agencies are now battling it out to win the contract, said to be worth a six-figure sum. The new brief will see the chosen firm support the London Gateway to expand the Port of London which will significantly boost its competitive offer against the UK’s first and second-ranked ports – Felixstowe and Southampton respectively.

DP World is seeking an agency that will help it to build a compelling proposal to both its direct customers and to end-users.

Once completed, London Gateway will be the UK’s largest deep-water port as well as one of Europe’s largest logistics parks.
