A local PR consultancy is celebrating success after securing a prestigious accolade for its ongoing commitment and dedication to its team.

Telford-based Zen Communications, whose client base includes some of the country’s best known and loved brands, companies and organisations, was crowned the overall winner in the Best Place to Work category at the Shropshire Star’s Excellence in Business Awards ceremony last night.

“It’s a real honour to be recognised for something which is so important to us, and we were incredibly grateful for the hundreds of messages wishing us luck and sharing congratulations,” explained Managing Director, Felicity Wingrove.

“This award is made all the more special because its focus is on our team and it provides recognition for our long-held belief that only by investing in our people will we be truly able to deliver an unparalleled service to our clients.”

The glamorous black-tie event, which was held at RAF Cosford, saw hundreds of businesspeople come together to celebrate the fantastic achievements of a diverse range of companies and organisations across Shropshire.

Sponsored by Star Employment Services, the category judges “loved the autonomy given to all staff to choose the best training courses for them, rewarding success in cash and more aspirational benefits.”

“A huge congratulations to all those shortlisted and, of course, to each of the category winners!” concluded Felicity.
