TESTIMONIALS

Duncan White, Managing Editor of International Fire & Safety Journal

"I have had the pleasure of working with Katy and Becky for the last 7 years. From the initial discussions of an idea, the provision of a synopsis and through to the submission of the finished feature their attention to detail is always first class - and they deliver on time, every time.

“I work with many PR agencies and can honestly say that Katy and Becky are by far the best PR team I have ever worked with. Other agencies should aspire to follow the lead being set by this formidable duo.”

Andrew Lynch, Editor of Fire Magazine

“I have found Becky and Katy to be highly professional, producing high quality work at short notice and they have always been willing to be creative and adaptive to our needs. They are reliable, enthusiastic and passionate about their work and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Becky and Katy for their high quality service, commitment and positive, can-do attitude.”

Mark Seton, Director and Publisher of MDM magazines

“Working with both Katy and Becky is an absolute pleasure. The content for the companies they represent is always first-class. They offer sound content suggestions to their clients and are also happy to work with us as a Publisher to ensure the content they produce is used to its fullest potential for their clients. We publish 20 magazines a year and they never missed a single deadline in the 8 years we have worked with them both.

In my 25 years of publishing to the Fire industry, they are one of the best PR Agencies I've had the pleasure to work with.”

Roger Startin, former Joint Managing Director of Bristol Uniforms

“I have worked with Becky and Katy for many years and would highly recommend their services. They are both exceptional PR professionals, collaborating with top industry journalists, our sales team and customers to create engaging and topical editorial and digital content to raise awareness of Bristol Uniforms’ firefighting protective clothing and aftercare services. They bring lots of enthusiasm, knowledge and experience to the job and their attention to detail and comms planning is second to none, resulting in quality content that is regularly published and read by key industry decision makers.”

Fraser Donaldson, Director of Mosmart UK

“Becky and Katy were recommended to us to help us launch our new, biodegradable wetting agent, Marine3 Fire. They are a pleasure to work with and their enthusiasm and passion shines through in everything they do. At the outset, they quickly became familiar with Mosmart UK and Marine3 Fire and developed a bespoke product launch comms plan, to convey key messages and target decision makers and potential customers. They made the best use of our budget, producing engaging and topical press material, in-depth features, and an effective press advert to successfully introduce Marine3 Fire to market and support sales.”
