Prohibition co-owner and Director, Will Ockenden said: “We are constantly looking to grow and evolve as an agency, and WorldCom presented an exciting opportunity to connect with some of the best independent agencies in the world, and in doing so, share innovation, and learn best practices outside of our immediate market.

We’re delighted Worldcom recognized our excellence as an agency and are very much looking forward to becoming a member and driving the next phase of our growth.”
