Award Winning Public Relations Success at CIPR Scotland PR Awards for Holyrood PR

Successful Holyrood PR team collect gold PR award

SUCCESS breeds success and Holyrood PR proved that point by striking gold for a fourth consecutive year at Scotland’s PR equivalent of the Oscars.

The CIPR Scotland PRide Awards are our industry’s celebration of the best of PR from practitioners around the country, so we were delighted to be nominated for seven in 2016.

We were even more chuffed to leave with two Golds and three Silvers under our belts, adding to an impressive haul of trophies in recent years.
