Testimonials
Feature Writing
“I've just finished editing your beef farmer cooperation story and wanted to drop you a quick line to say how well you've approached it and tackled all the issues in a logical way. The amount of information you've managed to get into the story is incredible, particularly the financial aspects of the arrangement. The intention is to make it the front cover story for the next issue.”
Jonathan Long, Livestock Editor, Farmers Weekly, Editor Dairy Update
Press Releases
“I am very pleased with the press release. We have had an enquiry today from someone who has seen the article you wrote about us in the Yorkshire Post. None of my competitors seem to have been in as many publications as we have.”
Kathleen Hird, Swaledale Woollens
Media Training
“Many thanks for the training, is learning supposed to be so much fun? You managed to generate a great deal of enthusiasm! We have lots of ideas now, and we will be much more confident about contacting the press in the future.”
