Bikes, business, welly boots...

What a week we have ahead.

One of the world’s biggest sporting events is turning Northern Ireland pink with cycle fever as we gear up for the Giro d’Italia Big Start. Swiftly followed by the International Business Women’s Conference (IBWC 2014), entrepreneurs from across the globe will gather in the city for this groundbreaking two day event. Meanwhile, our biggest agricultural forum will showcase the local thriving agri-food sector at Balmoral.  These three very different, important events are platforms for us to showcase how diverse, welcoming and vibrant a place Northern Ireland is – for sport, for tourism, for business.

The Morrows team will be dusting off our welly boots and working with our agri-food clients represented at Balmoral Show – Moy Park, Asda, Irwin’s Bakery, Glens of Antrim Potatoes, Dale Farm and Open Farm Weekend. We are also particuarly proud to this year be partnering with Women in Business NI to deliver IBWC 2014. The first event of its kind on the island of Ireland, it will bring a first class lineup of global speakers to Belfast to address hundreds of delegates as part of a programme aimed at unlocking  business potential. Women in Business NI hope its legacy will be felt for years to come, driving business growth through empowering individuals and putting the business case for gender diversity high
on the agenda of the private sector.

IBWC 2014 is about looking outwards and forwards - a vision which embodies where Northern Ireland is and should be today. Hosting world class events like those in the week ahead give out a clear message - we might be small in size, but we’re capable of big things.

The world’s watching, Northern Ireland. Let’s put on our best show…

Morrow Communications on shortlist for UK CIPR Excellence Awards 2014

We're delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for a 2014 Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Award - the public relations profession’s most prestigious annual awards scheme for the whole of the UK.

We are on the shortlist for the Low Budget category for our submission - ‘From Famine to Feast – the Resurrection of the Irish ‘Lumper’ Potato’ - and made the cut from approximately 700 awards entries received from around the globe!

The entry, which focuses on a media relations campaign conducted on behalf of our client Glens of Antrim Potatoes, follows the story of the reintroduction of the ‘Lumper’ to the market – a famous potato which had not been commercially cultivated since the Irish Famine of the 1840s.

Two members of the PR team, Harriet Turtle and Seona McGrath, have since been put through their paces taking part in a face-to-face interview with a team of expert judges in London this week, before the winners are finally chosen and announced at the CIPR Excellence Awards black tie dinner at Old Billingsgate, London on Tuesday 17th June 2014.

Fingers crossed for the final result!
