An award win – and we finally do what we tell our clients to do!

20 Dec 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

Here at J&PR we are forever encouraging our clients to shout up when they do something great or have something interesting to say about themselves. This time, however, the shoe was on the other foot and it was our turn to do the shouting. We generally do very little of our own PR but after being shortlisted and then going […]

It’s never too late to start studying

12 Dec 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley I’ve always enjoyed learning and after school ended up continuing my studies with four years at university then another six months developing my journalism skills on a course. But my education was put on hold when I became a journalist – a life which involved covering night meetings – sometimes at short notice – and working late. […]

Should we keep up the tradition of sending Christmas cards?

09 Dec 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley It’s that time of year when people who you have not seen for months, or even years, get in touch with Christmas greetings. With social networking sites, such as Facebook, or even email, it’s so much easier nowadays and an instant way to send your festive best wishes. I must admit I find myself on Christmas Day […]

Tour of businesses continuing for 2014

01 Dec 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

By Kirsty Smallman It’s always good to share knowledge and get some advice from your fellow businesspeople. So when we decided at Telford Business Club to mark our 25th anniversary we thought it would be great to get out and about for a taste of what our members did on their own turf. Bosses don’t always get the chance to […]

FSB business expo, more than I imagined

20 Nov 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

By Dani Wozencroft I wasn’t sure just what to expect as I arrived at my first business expo in Shrewsbury. Approaching the door with anticipation I simply saw lots of stands, lots of people and lots of products. But what would it actually be like? From bright coloured printed cushions to sparkling cupcakes, there was plenty to catch the eye. I had […]

Welcome to our latest J&PR team member Dani Wozencroft

19 Nov 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

By Dani Wozencroft I’m not very good with numbers, never have been. I am better with words, and I’m also quite nosey. Not really a surprise that I became a journalist then. Getting to meet new people, gossip about what’s happening with them and sharing that with others is not the way most people make a living – but it’s […]

It’s always difficult for new businesses to find their feet but Telford and Wrekin Council has come up with a great way to help fledgling companies in the run-up to Christmas with a pop-up shop. The shop will be based in a vacant store in the High Street in Wellington as part of the council’s Invest in Telford drive to […]

Seeing The World Differently

17 Oct 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

By Maria Wilkinson When I was growing up, we had a family friend who, for as long as I can remember, had been described as ‘odd’ or ‘strange’ by those who knew him. It almost became the norm when anyone was talking about him. “Oh, I know who you mean – the weird one.” “Yeah, he’s a bit odd isn’t […]

Grand Designs Live – time to let the creative imagination go wild!

by Kirsty Smallman

My husband and I are always looking for inspiration on how to improve our home and like everyone we dream of that ‘Grand Designs’ style property. So in order to keep the dream at the forefront of our minds we’ll be heading to Birmingham’s NEC for this year’s Grand Designs Live presented by design guru Kevin McCloud. There really […]

Oh to be on stage!

03 Sep 2013

by Rebecca Dutton

When I was a little girl, all I wanted to do was dance in the Christmas pantomime. I used to watch little girls dressed in their tutus performing on stage and thought it looked absolutely magical. In some ways, my dream did come true. My ballet group auditioned for a local theatre group’s performance of Dick Whittington and I was […]
