Testimonials

We’re proud of our experience and have worked with national restaurant chains, regional house builders, lifestyle brands and the education sector… the list goes on and on!

“We have been working with Penguin PR since 2016 and our partnership has gone from strength to strength. They have been an integral part of our positive media coverage across Derbyshire and also help to manage some challenging situations in recent years.

We are very proud to work with a local company that understands the media, gives great representation for our business and collaborates so well with our diverse company initiatives.”

Mike Harding

Radleigh Group

“As former journalists Penguin PR have an excellent understanding of the media and produce sparkling copy and professional quality photographs. Simon and Sarah are extremely creative and provide engaging news stories that incorporate our sales messages and consistently secure excellent coverage. They demonstrate a flair for writing and quickly acquired knowledge of our brand and its marketplace. I would be very happy to recommend them to any business looking to raise its profile in the media.”

Chris Neve,

Joint Managing Director

“Penguin PR helped launch Cosmo restaurant onto the Derby dining scene by organising an outstanding opening campaign. We have been working with them ever since and they ensure that while the city’s restaurant scene is rapidly expanding, Cosmo is still the name on everybody’s lips. Our group is ever growing and Penguin PR has been responsible for organising the opening campaigns of restaurants in Glasgow, Sheffield, York and Nottingham. They grasp business and brand concepts very quickly and convert them into professional, reader-friendly stories. We would highly recommend them.”

Cosy Foundation

“Cosy Foundation runs a well-established, substantial, local community investment programme spanning 80 grassroots organisations in the region. Penguin PR has been a terrific ally to us; their friendship, energy, honesty and ‘can do’ nature make them natural partners in radio, TV and local digital and printed media. They bring intellect and integrity to their work, matched with intimate and experienced knowledge and connections in their sector. Additionally, their work on our beloved Derby Kids Camp has been very helpful. They’re good, we recommend them.”

“Penguin PR has produced press releases, PR campaigns, website copy and blog posts for Shottle Hall since 2010. They have also written and edited two editions of our in-house magazine and we were thrilled with the finished product. Sarah has always been professional and approachable, offering creative ideas and solutions throughout the whole process. We would not hesitate to recommend Penguin PR and will definitely be using their services in the future.”

Eau de Burton & Blue Box

“What a surprise we had last Friday night! Relaxing and watching ‘Have I Got News For You’ on TV and suddenly they said ‘Eau de Burton’ and a picture of me with our Blue Box fragrance bottles appeared on screen. The press coverage of Eau de Burton was amazing, with stories in countless national newspapers, and orders rolled in from across the UK. We actually sold out of both Pour Femme and Pour Homme within a couple of weeks. I have to say a massive thank you to Sarah and Simon at Penguin PR who were the creators of the Eau de Burton concept.”

Victoria Brookes

“Penguin PR has never failed to impress our team at Annie’s Burger Shack. They take genuine interest in our business and honestly feel like an extension to our in-house marketing team. Their professionalism, speed of response and media knowledge is second to none. They are very proactive, coming up with a continuous stream of opportunities for Annie, and are always keen to discuss and enhance our new marketing ideas. Simon and the team are a pleasure to work with and would be a true asset to any business!”

“I would love to pass on my HUGE thanks to Penguin PR. Quite simply, Simon is a master of press releases! Both press releases he has written for me have resulted in local and national media coverage. One resulted in a local newspaper story and radio interview, together with a regional BBC news feature all in the same week! As a result, the positive reputation of my brand has increased and I have made many new valuable sales and industry connections.

As a very small, start-up company, Penguin PR genuinely respected my position, both in terms of finance and being a complete business novice! Simon has guided me and helped all he can within my budget limitations. He knows just who to contact and how! It is always a real pleasure to feedback my success stories as I sincerely feel he understands my business and too wishes it to succeed. Many thanks again.”

“We love working with Penguin PR as they are incredibly professional, have a zest for life and their positivity makes it very easy to work alongside them. They have produced some excellent press releases for us and have incredible contacts. When we have asked them to support the Trust in other ways, they have always been happy to help, and we see this as a really valuable partnership. Would highly recommend! Thank you!”

“Now don’t shoot me down if my research is wrong (blame Google) but penguins stick together through thick and thin. They are warm, friendly, have charming personalities and are liked by everyone. And the same can be said for the penguins at Penguin PR, they become part of your business, thinking more about you as a business owner and your overall aims, not just the next PR piece, and well they’re all charming! I can’t thank Kerry enough for her support and friendship. 

So if you’re looking for someone to have your back, pick up a Penguin!”
