Firm’s double success
Apr 29 2008 by Henryk Zientek, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
A BUILDING products firm based in Huddersfield has won two awards for its marketing efforts.
Marshalls, which has its registered office in Birkby, won the prizes for best public relations strategy and best sponsorship strategy at the SWOT Awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester.
The awards recognised Marshalls’ success in raising awareness of ethical and environmental issues in the building industry and in securing a three-year sponsorship of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show.
The winning public relations strategy was developed in partnership with Koan, a Manchester-based communications consultancy.
Marshalls group marketing director Chris Harrop, who led both award-winning strategies, was named marketer of the year.
