Best PR consultant in Sheffield

PR that proves impact – not just column inches

I’ve spent over 30 years helping organisations in Sheffield and beyond turn stories into measurable outcomes. From National Lottery Heritage Fund projects to law firms, restaurants and cultural initiatives, my work has raised profiles, secured funding and delivered results that show up where they matter — in bookings, enquiries and balance sheets

Why clients choose me

  • Impact you can measure – I don’t just count clippings; I show the uplift in sales, funding bids won and audiences reached.

  • Senior counsel, not junior activity – I give you strategy first, execution second, so every piece of work has a purpose.

  • Local roots, digital reach – I know Sheffield inside out, and I use the full PR mix — from national press to social campaigns and influencer partnerships — to get stories seen where audiences spend their time.

Proof of results

  • £91,280 National Lottery Heritage Fund grant – secured for the Sheffield Blitz 85th project, thanks to a communications strategy that put community voices at the heart of the bid.

  • 35% uplift in restaurant bookings – delivered through a PR relaunch campaign that turned headlines into footfall and sales.

  • 40+ pieces of regional and national coverage in 3 months – achieved for arts and heritage projects, from BBC and ITV to the Yorkshire Post and niche sector press.
