David Morgan, chairman of The Missions Marketing Group, commented: "It's now three years since we restructured The Mission and I am pleased to report that 2012 saw a continuation of our progress in what has been yet another challenging year for our sector. We focused on concinnity and our agencies have never worked better together, providing a cohesion that we and our Clients have benefitted from.
