What journalists say about us...
Western Mail
"Smoke Control Services has featured on our business pages regularly since WWPR brought the company to our attention as a successful Welsh business operating in a niche market, punching above its weight in terms of the high profile contracts it is securing at various developments across the UK.
"WWPR has succeeded in making a potentially quite dry subject interesting by drip feeding us a series of snappily written releases with strong imagery that focused on SCS' products, people and successes."
Aled Blake, Business Correspondent, Western Mail
Asian Today
"When I was contacted about the campaign to recruit more foster carers from an Asian background to help look after asylum seeking children from war-torn countries in Iraq and Afghanistan I was more than happy to help. As a newspaper which primarily targets the South Asian community it was highly relevant to our target audience.
It was a wonderful campaign to be part of and the way the initial e-mail was presented by the PR agency was fantastic. Details of the campaign presented by the PR agency were concise and to-the-point. From background information on the numbers of asylum-seeking children looking to be placed with foster carers to case studies of youngsters who were happy to share their experiences - everything I needed to formulate the piece was readily available. It was a great campaign, and one that we were more than happy to publicise."

"We would like to thank Working Word who took the time to come to the station and meet with the news editor to understand our editorial policies and to get to know the people who make the station tick. We were lucky enough to have two of the Climate Change Champions, Ashley Yarrow and Katie Gupwell, fall within our transmission area and the Working Word team approached us to give the girls a monthly slot on our breakfast show.
"Their idea that the Champions set our breakfast presenter Becky an eco-challenge every month has gone down a treat. Listeners love to tune in and see how Becky has coped without TV for a week or how she's got on changing to energy saving light bulbs. The girls are always well-prepared and our presenters well-briefed by the Working Word team. Our listeners live in a beautiful part of the world and really care about preserving it. The advice of the Climate Change Champions is giving them the tools to be able to do this."
Terry Mann, Station Manager, GTFM
South Wales Argus
"Working Word has helped to publicise the good work of the non-profit making Seren Group for some time through the pages of the South Wales Argus.
"The Seren Group helps disadvantaged people in our circulation area through its various organisations - including the homeless and people with learning disabilities - but much of this would go unnoticed were it not highlighted in the press. Although we would be aware of some of that work, Working Word has helped to give it focus and make sure we do not miss anything essential. I have enjoyed a close and fruitful working relationship with the team and they have supplied me with some excellent stories, many of them with that important "human interest".
"We have operated on a number of different levels depending on the circumstances. Sometimes they supply the complete package with the words and pictures while on other occasions they give me the germ of an idea and provide the necessary contacts so I can carry out the interviews and we can take our own photographs. Both methods have proved successful.
"I know from the response we have had on our website that people are becoming more aware of the Seren Group and its works"
