Matanle Public Relations has handled PR for many well-known names in the building trade, such as Wavin (Osma pipes and fittings), Decra roof tile, Vencel Resil insulation products and Greenwood Airvac.

Most recently, for Plan-B Marketing Ltd (www.plan-b.co.uk) we have handled the UK launch of the ZipLevel, a hydrostatic altimeter that enables one person, working alone, accurately to measure precisely the difference in altitude of one point (e.g. the bottom of a trench), and another (e.g. the top of a brick wall), even where there is no line of sight between one and the other.

After announcement press releases had generated initial editorial and interest, Ivor Matanle wrote and placed feature articles on different applications of the ZipLevel in the surveying and building control press, and in Professional Landscaper.
