Top ten financial and corporate public relations agency Pelham PR wanted to ensure that its expanding team had the skills needed for delivering world-class pitches to potential clients.

Bladonmore met this objective by developing a bespoke Training Academy covering every aspect of the pitching process.

"As your company get bigger, the business that you want to go for gets bigger. That means the pitch becomes a much more critical aspect of your business," explains James Henderson, Chief Executive of Pelham PR. "Bladonmore, who we knew from our work with the media, was a natural partner to call on."

Bladonmore has had a "very positive" impact on Pelham PR's business in two ways, Henderson adds. "First, they have given a renewed enthusiasm and vigour to our key people. They now enjoy pitching more and have a greater understanding of how to pitch. Second, the focus that Bladonmore has given us in terms of our offering has helped us to win pitches."

Bladonmore will remain a key partner for Pelham PR in the future, says Henderson. "We would like an ongoing relationship with Bladonmore. We would like to have them as the partner of choice for our clients. And we also need to benefit continually from Bladonmore when we have big presentations and other opportunities coming up. Whether it's the annual reports side, the training side, the media side or the publications side of Bladonmore - all of these areas are of benefit to ourselves and our clients."
