We are familiar faces on the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce training calendar and we love every minute of sharing our knowledge and expertise.
Last month was our full day PR and social media course and recently Kirsty hosted our first half-day blogging for business course. It went down a treat!
Here’s what our delegates had to say today:
Martin James, Greenhous, said: “It has given my skill base an additional aspect. I will be discussing the need to have a ‘blog’ button on our new website.
“I need to discriminate between press release news and more personalised stories which blogging will allow me to do. Great morning. Thank you.”
Melissa Hardy, Security Services said: “I like how Kirsty uses examples to make things understandable. She gives me confidence to blog and hopefully do it well! Great tips and free tools to use. Thank you.”
Joanne Phillips, The Hundred House, said: “Kirsty was a fabulous trainer as in the other courses I’ve attended with her.
“If the course could be improved I would like a full day version where you actually write a blog during the afternoon session so to make a blog active and smooth out any technical questions like ‘why is my picture sitting there when I want it to sit here?!
“Overall very helpful and inspiring. Thank you.”
(Jo – watch this space – we hope you are dreaming about your keywords and optimisation!)
All three delegates marked the course as “Excellent” in every category and for each individual criteria too – we call that a clean sweep!

Laura Partridge, Hencote
“Learning more about press releases was very helpful along with tips for social media marketing and engagement. Using the plans will be great for time management and vary content.”
Kate Southan, Westbury Environmental
“Kirsty was really engaging and it’s obvious how enthusiastic she is, so it was easy to learn and pick up some tips.”
Clive Jones, Copy-Write
“Learning the current social media formats that are trending, learning more about PR, blogs and how they work within social media.”
Melissa Hardy, Security Services
“I feel I now have a plan when I get back, rather than having a head in the hands moment! This has got to be a good thing – feel so much more confident. Thank you, Kirsty.”
Emma Cross, Hatchers
“Extremely helpful course. Covered all the main areas of digital PR from a beginner’s point of view. Lots to work on but looking forward to using everything I’ve learnt today.”
Alex Ashton, Fabweld Steel Products
“Learning how to structure plan. This can be applied to other parts of my role at FSP and I can see it being of great benefit in achieving our objectives.”
And if this isn’t enough there’s more course testimonials here too! Hope to see you on a course soon!
