'SirgarPR' wins public relations prize
SirgarPR is the best in-house council public relations team in Wales – and that’s official!
Carmarthenshire County Council’s Press and Communications section won the gold award at the recent Chartered Institute of Public Relations Pride awards.
The team, which is a one-stop-shop for all PR, has recently rebranded itself as SirgarPR.
Judges said: “The judges considered this was a clear winner and an outstanding entry. The way the team has branded itself and built an impressive client base is very impressive.
“Performance figures are excellent, with high satisfaction levels from all stakeholders. Judges were impressed by the quality and creativity of the work and the value for money offered.”
The team also provides a service for several partner organisations such as Hywel Dda Health Board and CAVS, which includes graphic design, print, web, press and marketing.
SirgarPR is also making its services accessible to other organisations, both locally and in other parts of Wales.
Press Manager Debbie Williams said: “We have provided a range of services to other organisations for the past few years, and we have had increasing interest recently from others in using our services.
“Collaboration and partnership working, particularly in the public sector, are the way forward, and this is one of the ways we can support that.”
SirGarPR also won gold awards for the best newspaper – Community News – and best campaign £10k and under – Carmarthenshire Libraries.
They won silver for the best newsletter – 50+ - and for best use of digital PR for the snow e-bulletin.
Robert Lloyd said:"As they say on the BBC, other public relations operators are available. Most notably, in this neck of the woods, Robert Lloyd! So, organisations in need of PR advice and services, come and talk to me - an excellent value-for-money and totally independent service!
