- 3. Why do you love what you do?
- I love the buzz of seeing the final article in print. After all the hard work that goes into any piece of copy – the concept, research, interviewing and drafting - it’s such a thrill reading through the pages of a newspaper or magazine, or searching online and spotting the results of our hard work published right there in front of us. Plus, I’m nosy and love to learn new things! We get under the skin of each client and learn so much about their business and how it works. It’s fascinating to learn about new industries, new techniques and new ways of working. They say a PR officer makes a great dinner party guest because we can talk about so many subjects at length, and it’s true!
- 4. Your ‘Hero’ hour? (this is a project or job in which you did something fantastic)
- It has to be my very first day at Acceleris when I was thrown in at the deep end (to say the least)! I met my new colleagues who greeted me with a branded motors.co.uk all-in-one racing suit to become the newest member of the Blues Busters team touring the country bringing a smile to the UK’s credit crunch commuters. Along with the rest of the team of Blues Busters, my first day on the job saw me performing random acts of kindness to members of the public in Leeds and Hull. We gave out hugs, flowers and lolly pops, and told (terrible) jokes.
- 5. Projects you are currently working on?
- Blues Busters round three – we've been so successful that we’ve had requests from the rest of the country to visit. Watch this space…..

- 4. Your ‘Hero’ hour? (this is a project or job in which you did something fantastic)
- Although fantastic might be overdoing it, I think I’ve played an important role in a number of PR and marketing projects. Remaining calm whilst trying to organise a Tai Chi display in the centre of Hull certainly took a special effort.

- 2. Name five clients you have enjoyed working on
- The Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society, the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, Rixonway Kitchens, the Royal Alfred Seafarers’ Society and the NFA Awards.
- 3. Why do you love what you do?
- Every day is different. One day I’m in a recording studio with Gary Barlow’s mixing desk recording a charity version of Elton John’s classic ‘Don’t go Breaking my Heart’ for the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund; and the next I am organising for underwater images of celebrities and people associated with the sea to be positioned in tanks at Sea Life Centres for an exhibition for the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society.
- 4. Your ‘Hero’ hour? (this is a project or job in which you did something fantastic)
- I am currently managing a really exciting project for my client the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society called Celebrations of the Sea. The exhibition of underwater images of people associated with the sea, including celebrities such as Dan Snow aims to raise the profile of the society and generate a new fundraising stream.
- 5. Projects I am currently working on?
- The Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society project has been my main focus of the last few months. I am now launching the Leeds Community Stars Awards and NFA Awards which both take place in July as well as launching a new initiative with the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund. We are developing a new website and PR programme for Tong High School in Bradford as well as working on a new initiative for the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society for 2012. It’s going to be a busy year!
