“For those not in the know, PR can be a minefield. Many don’t know where to start or, surprisingly, think PR is only for big businesses. Kathryn Allison has designed a workshop to dispel myths (fluffy PR has no place here) and explain the importance of educating and informing your target audience. I was invited to experience the workshop before it went live to the public. As someone involved in PR earlier in my career, I can honestly say you nab a space as soon as booking goes live. Hosted in the Cotswolds, the boardroom venue alone has the Wow! Factor (think boutique hotel vibes) and set a high standard for what follows.

There is an art to creating a workshop that genuinely educates and inspires delegates. If you’re looking for a good return on investment, this is plenty of theory and, importantly, time to put this into practice.
