Managing director Tina Clough said: “It makes a lot of sense for me to employ seasoned journalists.

“They are fast, accurate, critically astute professionals, who have sat in press rooms and who know first-hand what a real news story, or a compelling feature, is all about.”

Phil said: “In addition to writing news and features for the regional, national and trade press, I’ve owned and run my own marketing firm for more than 10 years now, so Poppy PR feels like a very natural fit for me.

“I’ve seen the outstanding work Tina and her team have done for large and small businesses throughout the Midlands and I love their honest, no-nonsense approach to the creation of press-ready articles with authentic editorial merit.”
