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 […]
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!

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 […]

Gorgeous Llandudno hotel, an award win and perfect blue sky – what more could we ask for?
24 Dec 2013
If you went to Llandudno on a cold, winter Friday night in the hope of winning an award then where else would you stay than an award winning hotel where the ceremony was being held. The best way to reduce the risk of ruining my hair do or overworking the heels walking from one venue to another was to book […]
I know it’s the time of year when there’s plenty of repeats on the television but this isn’t a repeat blog – I promise! But you may have heard me say the annual pantomime at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury is the best yet – yes I said the same last year. But this year the producer’s of Sleeping Beauty – […]
Here at J&PR we are forever encouraging our clients to shout up when they do something great or have something interesting to say about themselves. This time, however, the shoe was on the other foot and it was our turn to do the shouting. We generally do very little of our own PR but after being shortlisted and then going […]
It’s never too late to start studying
12 Dec 2013
By Lisa Rowley I’ve always enjoyed learning and after school ended up continuing my studies with four years at university then another six months developing my journalism skills on a course. But my education was put on hold when I became a journalist – a life which involved covering night meetings – sometimes at short notice – and working late. […]
