"We have developed a distinct reputation as experts in B2B, the public sector, issues management and corporate work."
Managing Sensitive Issues
When it comes to the management of sensitive issues, our consultants offer an exceptional track record, including work on more than thirty different wind farm projects, to assist our clients in securing necessary approvals. Other prominent example include work ont he closure of Continental Tyres' Newbridge plant, the establishment of the controversial HCI private hospital in Clydebank and the de-regulation of the milk industry in Scotland.
Managing Communication, From One Business to Another
B2B is another area where Budge PR excels. In this area, our experience encompasses work for Clark Contracts, a leading building, refurbishment and maintenance company, direct marketing specialists Navigator Responsive Advertising, property consultants Lambert Smith Hampton and top facilities management company Key FM.
Managing the Profile on Major Financial Deals
Budge PR also has extensive experience in the world of corporate finance, extending across the UK including mergers, acquisitions, hostile takeovers, privatisation, flotations, investor relations and capital raising projects. Among our most recent projects are the UK launch and on-going promotion of Glasgow's International Financial Services District. We've also worked on the the MBO’s at National Tyre and Viking International, as well as the launch of a Child Trust Fund and various other new investment products from Scottish Friendly Assurance and the acquisition of Knightsbridge Advisers by City Gate Money Managers.
Managing the Promotion of Enterprise
In the economic development sector, Budge PR’s experience is unparalleled. Promoting Glasgow as a business location and supporting the work of the Glasgow Regeneration Agencies are two recent examples. Over six years we improved and sustained positive media coverage for Scottish Enterprise Renfrewshire by a staggering 400%. We also successfully managed the launch of Export Breakthrough, a programme to develop SME exports. We have experience with local enterprise companies, enterprise trusts, micro-finance bodies, training agencies and major regeneration projects.
Event Management
Managing major events is another area of expertise at Budge PR. For example, we were responsible for organising Next Steps, a two day UK wide conference in May 2007 for over 350 healthcare professionals, involved in the treatment and care of falls, fragility fractures and osteoporosis.
Budge PR was also involved in managing the fifth birthday celebration for Glasgow's International Financial Services District which attracted 300 guests to Glasgow City Chambers in February 2007. The company also organised "It All Adds Up", an event for Strathclyde European Partnership at the Glasgow Science Centre in June 2007, celebrating the legacy of twenty years of European Structural funds in the West of Scotland.
