A small firm celebrating its 30th anniversary beat off competition from national rivals to be named agency of the year at an industry awards.

CFA Marketing, based in London Road, Maidstone, took the top prize at the Construction Marketing Awards.

It is the second time the award has gone to the company, which employs 30 people, having picked up the gong in 2012.

The business is a former KEiBA winner and its managing director David Ing is a Kent Ambassador.

Founder Colin Felton said: “To be judged as the leading UK agency in this sector is a great honour for us and our employees – an incredible talent base.

“It is a direct reflection of the hard work and commitment of all of our team at CFA over the past 12 months and we are all immensely proud.”
