PUBLIC SECTOR: Tate Gallery to add three to press team

The Tate Gallery is pumping resources into its communications department ahead of the launch of its two newly-branded galleries next year, Tate Modern and Tate Britain. Head of communications Damien Whitmore is to bring in another three people into the press office, doubling the size of the existing function to cope with the promotion of the new galleries. With the addition of the new site, on London’s South Bank, Whitmore’s brief is to double the number of visits to the Tate to four million per year.
