South West News Service (SWNS) is one of the largest news agencies in the UK, supplying editorial copy and pictures to national and international clients.[1] Operating from offices in Bristol, Plymouth, Leamington Spa and Cambridge, SWNS employs over 40 reporters and photographers.[2] Originally founded as The Bristol Agency in the early 1970s, the SWNS is now run by partners Andy Young, Paul Walters and Martin Winter. In 2010 SWNS launched the website SWNS.com (Small World News Service) as a first hand source of current affairs and general interest news.[3]

SWNS has two public relations divisions: 72Point and Palamedes PR.[4][5]
