IUKE selects Hallmark for national profile campaign

Hallmark Public Relations has been appointed by Inside UK Enterprise (IUKE) to raise the profile of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) initiative.

The IUKE programme is run by Status Meetings Ltd, in association with the Small Business Service, an agency of the DTI. The aim of the scheme is to increase the productivity of UK companies by getting UK businesses to learn from other UK businesses.

IUKE offers a unique programme of one-day visits to UK companies committed to improving the performance of their businesses through best practice implementation.

There are over 170 host companies from a range of industry sectors, including British Airways, Rolls Royce, IBM, Caterpillar UK and Van den Bergh Foods.

Steve Osborne-Brown will manage the account from Hallmarks offices in Winchester, Hampshire, reporting to Jennifer Jenkins, Best Practice Programme Manager at Status Meetings, based in nearby Petersfield.

Speaking of the appointment, Steve said; "The IUKE programme is a superb scheme committed to improving best practice by British companies. We will be working very closely with IUKE to raise awareness of the programme and attract new hosts and visitors across the UK. The account team - myself, Richard Bennett and Fiona Peters - share IUKE's enthusiasm and will use the full range of Hallmark's expertise in promoting the programme".
