HOLIDAY GIANT APPOINTS NORWICH AGENCY

We are delighted to announce that the biggest name in European holiday rentals has appointed Shorthose Russell to handle its European corporate public relations.

Wyndham Exchange & Rentals, part of US giant Wyndham Worldwide, has a portfolio of some of the sector’s biggest brands, including cottages4you, Canvas Holidays, Cuendet, Landal and Novasol. The group’s most recent acquisition was the UK’s leading self-catering brand, Hoseasons.

We already handle travel PR for Hoseasons before the recent acquisition and will now assist Wyndham with corporate PR in the UK and Western Europe.

Nigel Main, Director of Corporate Communications at Wyndham Exchange & Rentals, said, “We were first attracted by Shorthose Russell’s proven track record in the travel sector, with solid expertise, experience and contacts. What then struck us was the way they came to us with ideas, rather than waiting for us to define the brief.”

Spring has Sprung at SRL!

We went along to help our client, Bernard Matthews Farms, at this years Spring Fling which took place at the Royal Norfolk Showground last Thursday. A record attendance of more than 5,100 visitors flocked to the 11th annual sell-out event to watch hatching eggs, hold day old poults, get involved in ‘turkey art’ and understand the journey food takes from farm to fork.

Spring Fling is jointly organised by the EDP and the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, and is designed to appeal to youngsters aged between four and 14.


This is the third year we have helped Bernard Matthews Farms at Spring Fling. The stand was the biggest to date in order to match the increase of 1,000 additional young people and their families. We gave away over 4,000 goody bags, met thousands of young people and their families and once again had a very successful event - the sunshine even made an appearance!
