Yorkshire Housing Group

Verrill Public Relations provided a PR service to the Yorkshire Housing group for three years and I am happy to say that during that time Steve and his team conducted successful media campaigns which helped to raise the profile of the Group across Yorkshire.

VPR were very good with reactive media, such as damage limitation on sensitive issues,  and I feel that the amount of work we passed on to them – which was a large amount – was dealt with very professionally.

Goodwin Development Trust

Verrill Public Relations was appointed by the Goodwin Development Trust in 2001 when the charity was a fledgling organisation employing a handful of people and turning over around £100k a year. Now Goodwin employ more than 300 people and brought £11m of funding to Hull last year.

VPR has played a key role in our organisation’s development spreading the word about our achievements nationally and internationally.

Goodwin operates the largest community warden scheme in the UK with 160 wardens and support staff - I firmly believe that we could not have achieved so much success without the support of Steve Verrill who has guided us to a substantial amount of positive media coverage helping the service to be rapidly accepted by the community and funding organisations.

AFOS Group

 I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Verrill Public Relations who have provided public relations services to both the food and medical divisions of the Group for seven years.

VPR provide a professional, effective and responsive service and helped contribute to maintaining AFOS as one of the world’s leading brands in its market sectors.

Nortech Services Ltd

Thank you for your help with the Humber Bridge Board proposal. PR is new to us and the help and assistance you freely gave was of enormous benefit in building our relationship with the engineers at HBB.

Your common sense attitude towards PR helped us to decide on a course of action that we felt was outside our scope but thankfully you brought us through to a successful outcome.
