LIQUID PR

LIQUID Public Relations Ltd was set up in April 2004 by Elisabeth Lewis-Jones and Menna Rees-Steer, two communicators with over 25 years' experience between them.

Working in the private, not-for-profit and public sectors, the company has quickly established itself building both a regional and national reputation.

Liquid's clients range from Sport England, London 2012 in the West Midlands to the West Bromwich Building Society and KPMG. Working across sport, property, business to business, retail, education and the public sector, Liquid has handled a number of high profile projects both in the UK and abroad. Such growth has meant that Liquid has grown from the 'kitchen table' to a new office at Greenbox, Stoke Prior.

In February 2006 Liquid won a Chartered Institute of Public Relations "PRide" award in the best media relations campaign category. It is currently short-listed for the prestigious 2007 awards for best photography, design and new media and best integrated PR campaign.

As with any expansion, investment in resources has been crucial, especially for such a young company. For Liquid, integrated IT is required in order for them to be able to grow, develop new areas and recruit. The Business Booster Grant will enable Liquid to invest in the IT systems needed for its ambitious growth plans over the next 12 months.
