The new CPL One Group will be made up of three brands – CPL, Century One and Cabbells with a combined team of around 70 employees, plus freelance support, operating from offices in Cambridge and St Albans. The new operation will share more than 30 retained clients and combined annual revenues of £10 million.

Century One and Cabbells managing director Sarah Simpson joins the CPL One Group board, headed up by CPL managing director Mike Sewell.

Simpson said “Together, CPL, Century One and Cabbells have the potential to become a major force in the sectors where we specialise. We share similar philosophies and this move allows us to create a strong and exciting combined platform for future growth.”

Sewell commented “I am delighted to welcome Sarah and her team to the CPL One Group. In the short term it will be business as usual as we continue to focus on delivering a great service for our clients. In the longer term we are confident that our employees, along with current and future clients, will benefit from the shared expertise and experience of the combined group.”
