My new and amazing diet – Baby-Led-Weaning (BLW)

19 Feb 2014

by Rhea Alton

There is no new mum who will wander into the kitchen, babe in arms, wearing PJs despite the fact it is 2pm, covered in suspicious stains and think ‘right, I’ll just whip myself together a prawn and avocado salad and a fresh fruit smoothie and I will be fit, healthy and back to my old self (or a new yummy […]

It’s good business to celebrate an anniversary

07 Feb 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley Nowadays it’s difficult times for businesses with many falling victim to the recession and disappearing forever from our high streets. But in Shropshire we think there’s plenty to celebrate as many firms survive the hard times. And it’s not just established businesses managing to weather the storm but new ones spring into life as well. Being based […]

A passion for photography

05 Feb 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley I got my first proper camera – a Nikon 301 SLR – for my 18th birthday but it was a surprise present that did not get much use. To me f-numbers and exposure was all too complicated, another language, and no-one was really there to explain how it worked. It was not until nearly 20 years later […]

MP praise for firm’s charity efforts

05 Feb 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley It’s always the aim of any PR agency that clients get as much positive publicity as possible in order to generate more business and advertise what they do. We take pride at J&PR in what we do and make great efforts to ensure our news reaches as many people as possible. So it’s certainly rewarding for us […]

Swapping four wheels for two

01 Feb 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley It’s been nearly 18 months since I gave up my company car after leaving my job of nearly 20 years. Instead of buying another vehicle, which I didn’t necessarily need, I swapped four wheels for two – and I haven’t looked back. I’ve always had a cycle since I was young but it wasn’t until it was […]

The buzz around award ceremonies is already starting

25 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley It’s that time of year again when Hollywood pulls out all the stops for what seems like non-stop awards ceremonies. Many directors and actors will have been working towards and preparing for this moment for many months. And as somebody who loves films and is a regular goer to the cinema it is something I look forward […]

Volunteer reading helpers in schools – why should we?

15 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Kirsty Smallman I’ve always loved reading and I will read just about anything whether it be books, newspapers, magazines or the back of an empty biscuit wrapper. There is just something about the written word and as a former journalist I probably have a passion for it more than most. That’s why when my two boys were born I […]

Luxurious nights at the cinema

10 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley I’ve always loved going to the cinema from a young age when I’m old enough to remember going along to cult favourites such as Tron and ET. Then visiting a picture house was a difference experience when the main film was preceded by another movie, often made by the Children’s Film Foundation, and there was time to […]

Welcome to our latest J&PR team member Lorna McCann

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lorna McCann I remember the night well. It was dark, windy and wet and I was sat in a small village hall in the coastal town of Buckie, located on the Morayshire Coast in North Scotland. I was surrounded by a dozen or so very weathered-looking, rosy cheeked fishermen. As a reporter, I was there of course, to get […]

It’s nearly panto season!

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley One of my favourite times of the year is fast approaching when young and old get the chance to shout and join in with a sing-song at the theatre. It’s behind you! Oh no it’s not! Yes, it’ll soon be panto season. I always look forward to what our theatres in Shropshire come up with to draw […]
