Dan Gallienne from Orchard PR in Guernsey and Jersey-based Hannah Shellswell from Freedom Media, Hannah Carolan of The Partnership and Allan Watts of Orchid have joined the committee that will lead the group through its 10th anniversary.
Guernsey-based Mark Oliphant, head of communications at The International Stock Exchange Group, continues for a second annual term as chairman while Jersey-based Natasha Egré, PR director at The Refinery, remains as vice-chair.
‘We have grown significantly since our inception in 2008 so that the group now has 67 members, with 13 new members joining during the last 12 months alone,’ said Mr Oliphant.
‘This demonstrates the value which communications practitioners in the Channel Islands place on being a member of an organisation which is committed to promoting the interests of their industry and raising professional standards by providing skills and training opportunities.’
Welcoming the new committee members, he added that the highlight of the group’s year would be the annual Channel Islands PR forum in September. ‘It will take on extra significance as we mark not only our 10th anniversary as a group, but also the 70th anniversary of the CIPR, and we have already begun to make preparations to mark these during the forum.’
Guy Le Maistre from Exposure PR and Jim Anderson from the States of Guernsey continue as treasurer and secretary respectively. They are joined on the committee by William Church from The Jersey Royal Company, Sarah Jehan of Collas Crill, Brooke Kenyon from Orchard PR and Nichole Culverwell of Black Vanilla.
