A glass slipper? Not really the footwear of the day in this torrential rain but it was the topic of conversation at Madeley Court Hotel today. Oh no it wasn’t? You’ve guessed it – Telford’s panto season is on its way with the arrival of the town’s own star Lucy Pollard as Cinderella. At just 19 years old and her […]
What's happening?
We are based in the lovely county of Shropshire and although we work with clients in a wide range of surrounding counties, and virtually with businesses across the UK, we love where we live and love to shout about it.
Shouting about things is really our bag so this is the page where we tell you what our clients have been up to, what's happening in Shropshire, what's happening with J&PR - and of course our advice and tips!

Vintage Steam Rally…. Me? Yes please!
01 Jan 2014
Despite living in Shropshire all of my life I had never visited the Shrewsbury Vintage Steam & Vintage Vehicle Rally until today! The fact I am now outnumbered and have three men in my life (one husband who has the backing of a three-year-old son and a 16-month-old son) means the boys and their toys win! But this evening I […]
Being my own boss… five months on!
01 Jan 2014
Nearly five months ago I left full time employment behind for the first time since leaving university. Was I excited? No. I was petrified! Yes in the middle of a recession I gave away a full time salary, company car, mobile, laptop, paid sick leave and 20 days paid holiday a year. Not forgetting my much loved colleagues who had […]
Murder on the Nile…and on the River Severn!
01 Jan 2014
An Agatha Christie creation with a star-studded cast could surely lead to nothing but a night of compelling entertainment as the 2012 production of Murder on the Nile took to the boards at Theatre Severn. And those with high expectations would, I am sure, have left completely satisfied after the curtain fell. Joe Harmston, Artistic Director, himself describes the production […]
A trucker’s wife at a trucker’s show
01 Jan 2014
As a trucker’s wife there was only one place I was going to be this weekend… Shropshire Truck Show at Oswestry. And as my parents only live five minutes from Oswestry Show Ground there really was no excuse. To my delight there was no need for me to have tried to think of any excuses as it was a great […]
Less than four hours after leaving the world of newspaper journalism and I had written a press release, changed my social media profile names to proudly boast our company name and also started my first blog as the partner of Journalism and PR. No rest for the wicked then! Rhea had ordered me to have the weekend off and start […]
From the screen to the stage… that’s what happened when Chris and Pui from CBeebies hit show ‘Show Me Show Me’ appeared at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn. Children, mostly pre-school age, jumped off their seats and did their “groovy moves” as their favourite stars led the way on stage. The show was a huge hit with two-and-a-half-year-old Eddie from the start […]
It is difficult to type because my hands are red raw after attempting to give the Russian Ice Stars the applause they deserved following tonight’s Cinderella on Ice performance at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn. Telling the story of Cinderella the stars gave outstanding performances from beginning to end with much more than ice skating skills to entertain the audience. To fulfill […]
Dancing on Ice at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn
01 Jan 2014
I headed to Theatre Severn yesterday to see the world renowned Russian Ice Stars testing their skates for this weeks performance of Cinderella on Ice. It was a tantalising taster of what visitors to the theatre will see this week and I immediately got my tickets for tonight’s (THURSDAY) show. I have watched series after series of Dancing on Ice […]
Relaxing In Good Hands…..
01 Jan 2014
Having a client who is a massage therapist really can prove very beneficial at times………. Tessa Kirk, of In Good Hands Massage http://www.ingoodhandsmassage.co.uk/ paid me a visit today at my home, and brought along her massage table. Tessa is great, not only because she does massage to promote good health as well as a pampering treat, but because she is perfectly happy […]
