IPB scoops Gold at PR awards

IPB Communications scooped gold and silver awards at this year's North West Chartered Institute of Public Relations Awards.

The agency won gold for "Best Leaflet" for the Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder's "Werneth is changing" leaflet and silver for "Best Publication" for Work Solutions "A criminal waste: Helping offenders find work" manual.

IPB was also shortlisted in the Not-for-profit category for Work Solutions' "A criminal waste: Helping offenders find work" campaign and in the Community Relations category for Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder's "Werneth is changing" campaign.

Stewart Pimbley, Managing Director, said:"It is fantastic to be recognised for our work by the CIPR. The competition was particularly tough this year and our achievements are a real credit to the IPB team."

The awards follow last year's success when IPB Communications scooped a host of awards including "Outstanding Public Relations Consultancy".

It also follows IPB's success in reaching the finals of the CIPR Excellence Awards 2008 in the Best Publication category. The annual report produced for Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder beat tough competition to reach the finals of these national awards
