Celebration

Leisure Doesn’t Need to be Leisurely

In December here at RDZ HQ we had some amazing leisure time. No, we weren’t just lazing around ignoring the fact that we had lots of work to do.

We were getting to know our two new lovely RDZ PR clients who are very much involved in the leisure industry, and we were putting together their exciting plans for 2020.

Sapori Restaurant & Bar is an absolutely amazing Italian restaurant located in Anstey, Leicestershire so we were very lucky to get some of their precious time around Christmas being as it is, of course, one of the most hectic periods of the year for them.  However, very successful businesses like theirs know how crucial it is to build and keep momentum to ensure that those all-important customers keep on coming through the door, so they found the time to make future plans even when the present was madly busy!

The second exciting client to come under our PR wings is Play Fitters who emerged from sister company Zone Laser’s work in business planning and consultancy with Family Entertainment Centres.  Far from being child’s play the effective design, crafting and installation of fittings, fixtures, scenery and equipment for Family Entertainment Centres finds their team entirely absorbed in the challenge of meeting the now very high expectation of the visiting public.

Quite the exciting pair, these businesses illustrate what we love about our clients. They show that it doesn’t matter what the business actually is, the key to successfully ‘doing PR’ is to firstly be ambitious and have the desire to grow fast and secondly to actively believe, support and participate in the agreed strategy to raise profile and start making people take notice.  Both these clients have these qualities in bucketloads and that’s why we’re confident that they will succeed and achieve their ultimate business goals.

The fact that they have already put in the planning time during a period which was crazy busy for both shows that they understand the importance of starting from a solid foundation and considering carefully what they want the year ahead to look like. As you can imagine we absolutely love that!

Our combined, unstoppable enthusiasm (and willingness to put in the hard graft) has resulted in us starting this shiny new year of 2020 (what, already??) in a’ full steam ahead’ and ‘all guns blazing’ style.  Everyone knows what is expected, everyone knows what they’re doing, everyone’s up for some fun in the process – watch this space for some exciting times to come!!

What Our Clients Say...

Heather Johnson, Botanical Artist & Stationery Designer

I went on one of Rachel’s introduction to PR workshops and it was fantastic. She covered absolutely everything, explained it all in an understandable way and didn’t try to sell anything. She gave as much information as possible, answered all questions and she was just lovely. I would highly recommend Rachel for anything to do with PR and won’t hesitate to use her services in the future.

Ravi Summan

I was introduced to Rachel by an executive coach. My requirements were to provide quality, simple to understand content to engage with my target market and generate new customer enquiries in health and wellbeing. From my first discussion with Rachel, it was clear that she had the skills and empathy to provide a service to support the growth of my business. Rachel’s content writing and editing is very effective and her diligence ensures the right message is articulated. It is no surprise to me she has a strong track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes support their growth. Aside from her professional competencies, Rachel genuinely cares about people and working with her allows you to focus on your core business. For those who are new to building their own business or employed by a large corporate, you will get value and authenticity from Rachel’s content and PR services.

Jayne McIntosh, Director, Air Aesthetics Health & Wellness Clinics

I met with Rachel and was instantly impressed with her warmth, enthusiasm and ability to understand the key issues being faced. She took time to clarity objectives and the key tasks required. A quick study she was able to pinpoint the brand tone of voice accurately. Rachel’s’ copy writing skills have been excellent. She has written for my business website, advertorial pages in lifestyle magazine and has also written first class responses to awards entries which are curtailed in length. Rachel is just really, really good!

Victoria Curtis, Company Secretary, Mono Roofing Ltd

Rachel came to provide our company with an appraisal for the company PR, and we learnt an awful lot! Rachel taught us how to make the most of our marketing and advertising and how to make it work for us, to get the client’s we really want. Rachel has provided our company with a plan to follow, and we are gradually implementing these procedures, and we know that in doing so, it will really raise the profile of our company and get us the work we want. I would definitely recommend Rachel to manage your company’s PR.

Trusha Lakhani, MD, Great Business Matters t/a Trusha Lakhani

Rachel Hargrave is one of the best PR experts that I have met. She not only understands the best awards for her clients but also how to make the most of the opportunity for the client’s personality. Put simply Rachel gets people. She understands her clients and their goals and is with you all the way. I highly recommend Rachel Hargrave and The Awards people and RDZ PR.

Paul Gerrard, MD, Gerrard Cranes

Rachel and I met yesterday to discuss my existing marketing and options for how we can improve and develop the strategy for my business. It’s very clear that Rachel has vast amounts of experience, knowledge, ability and some great contacts to achieve some amazing results. If you need some professional guidance with PR/awards/marketing then I’d highly recommend you get in touch with Rachel and see how she can help you out.

Victoria Beale, CEO, Business Live Global

I’ve worked with Rachel for the past ten years on a variety of client projects and for my business also and the service we have received has been second to none, consistent and most importantly delivers RESULTS. I would have no hesitation recommending RDZ PR to my customers and Business Live Network. Thanks Rach! Here’s to another ten years and more!

Mark Esho MBE, Easy Internet Services, Easy Internet Solutions, Dreme, Access Rating CIC

Thanks for all the hard work you put into the PR work for our companies and subsequently the business award submissions. You made the whole process stress-free, and the quality of the submissions have resulted in the receipt of multiple business awards. Great work, Rachel.
