For any company that is in Romford, working with someone local is always preferable than working with an agency that is based hundreds of miles away. Even though the UK is quite small and most places can be reached within a few hours, someone that is 10 minutes drive away is always going to go the extra mile, more so than someone that is hours away and you only see once a year.
Meetings are very helpful, not just in the communication process, but in knowing exactly the kind of agency you are working with. Any company can make claims on their website (about awards they have won, about the experience they have etc.) and often do, therefore a meeting is wise (as you do not want to employ an award winning PR agency that is actually a student working from his parents house.
Choosing a PR agency that has industry experience is also very wise, as there are thousands of PR agencies and all have industry experience (medical PR, finance PR, education etc.) so selecting one that has worked in your sector is also very wise (if not one of the most important criteria to consider). An experienced PR agency should know your market, know the media publications, know the way your sector works and know your competitors.

A Few Words About Romford
Romford is a town in the north east of London in the south of England, it has a population of around 40,000.
Romford was first recorded in 1177 as 'Romfort', which is an Old English word meaning 'wide ford' (referring to the River Rom) and possibly the site of road going from Colchester (a main English city) to London crossing the river.
Romford developed in the Middle Ages as a market town (Romford Market was established in 1247) and the area was known as an agricutural area, being the location of many mills that were used to grind corn. In the 15th - late 19th centuries, Romford was known for leather work in particular, but also work such as cloth manufacture, brewing, metal work, and charcoal production.
Romford was an important coaching town and the main road to London was maintained by the Middlesex and Essex Turnpike Trust (there were at one point over 1,000 trusts that were set up to collect road taxes to maintain the roads). In 1839, the railways appeared in Romford and this boosted the growth of the town brining it closer to London.
Romford these days is a suburban overflow to London.
