Our people are at the very heart of our business and with Jackie joining us, we’re confident these appointments put us in great stead for 2009.”

Both Morna and Jackie are senior specialists in their field. Morna has over 11 years public relations experience, through both consultancy and in-house roles in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, most recently with the Glenmorangie Company and prior to that with Weber Shandwick. Jackie has over six years experience in public relations, broadcast journalism and research.
