SCUBA-DIVING AND SEALIONS

It’s not every day you go to a networking event, only to discover yourself talking to a scuba-diver desperate to swim with sealions.

Having let slip that ICG PR work for Blackpool Zoo, I found myself agreeing to put in a good word…

I was on my first visit to a meeting of the Preston Exchange Network – a female business networking group that meets about six times a year.

PEN was celebrating its fifteenth anniversary so there was bucks fizz at the Holiday Inn followed by lunch and a talk from Stewart Heaton of Rock FM.

He chatted about a new multi-media project called Your Future aimed at helping young people in schools throughout Lancashire unlock their true potential. It was challenging and inspiring!

For just a couple of hours out of my day, it was good to meet some new people at PEN and chat about everything from sealions to the credit crunch.

The next meeting is a pre-Christmas dinner at Nigel Smith’s restaurant at Ribby Hall…it’s already in the diary!

Love is all around...

FORGET the credit crunch and the torrential summer downpours. The press want happy news and ICG PR came up with the goods!

Our client, Scott Rees and Co has been spreading the love after four lawyers simultaneously announced they were all getting engaged.

The likes of Law Gazette, Solicitors Journal and http://www.thelegalweek.co.uk/ soon came calling; the local press loved it too.



Happy couples: Chris Connor and Karla Kingston, alongside Lucie Illingworth and James Driscoll from Scott Rees and Co Solicitors in Skelmersdale. Scott Rees specialise in personal injury claims.

Spot Simon



Can you spot Simon, our Creative Director? He's in there somewhere, getting ready to run the Nike Human Race 10K - running out of Wembley Stadium. He ran it in 42min47secs - if you believe what he says!!
