⭐ Meet Sarah Young – Finance & Office Manager ⭐

With over 20 years of experience in the charity and local government sectors, Sarah knows exactly how to keep things running smoothly.

We’re proud to have Sarah (and Shaka) on the team!

This week the team were in London, meeting with MPs in Portcullis House to show, first hand, how policy shifts could shape transport in the South West.

It was a good reminder of why public affairs isn’t an add on but a core part of an effective PR strategy.

This week the team trekked all the way to Cheshire for a site visit, talking to the people on the ground and seeing the operation up close.

These visits are essential for making informed decisions and delivering solutions that work in practice.
Thanks to everyone on site for the time and insight.

🤔Thought🤔

After being given the brief of ‘don’t be boring but don’t be psycho’ how do we land in the middle when marketing ourselves?

🎃Happy Halloween 🎃

We hope you have a spooky day

It's Flood Action Week, a reminder of the risks posed by flooding.

Earlier this year, we launched a Rapid Adaptation Pathways Assessment (RAPA) Toolkit together with The Environment Agency, a resource to manage flood and coastal erosion risks in the face of climate change.

“Only big brands need PR.”

That’s one of the biggest myths in the game.

Because PR isn’t about size. It’s about story.

PR helps you:
🌊 Control your story before someone else tells it.
🌊 Build trust faster than any ad campaign can.
🌊 Turn visibility into opportunity.

Peninsula Transport and strategic rail sub-group Peninsula Rail Task Force are pleased to announce the appointment of two new Chairs to lead their respective organisations: Cllr John Stephens and Cllr Dan Rogerson.

Consultation with stakeholders is essential in the development of your organisation's strategic plan. When you engage with stakeholders, you foster trust, gather diverse insights and mitigate potential risks.

Here is an example from Peninsula Transport👇
