27/07/2011: MR T PAYS A VISIT TO HEYWOOD DISTRIBUTION PARK http://www.heywooddistributionpark.com/park/heywood…
The sun was shining over SEGRO's Heywood Distribution Park on Wednesday 29th June, as Roland Dransfield organised and attended the launch event for the Park's newly refurbished Truck Stop and Cafe.
Truckers came from far and wide joining occupiers at the Park to enjoy a delicious BBQ to mark the occasion. Britain’s Got Talent star, Mr T lookalike made a guest appearance to cut the ceremonial ribbon, whilst taking time out to have his photo taken with visitors and guests.
James Harman-Sherwood, Asset Surveyor at SEGRO, said: “We appointed RDPR to co-ordinate the launch event of the Heywood Distribution Park Truck Stop. Their efforts were greatly appreciated, the day went very well and the organisation was excellent. We received some great feedback from the attendees. RDRP also suggested using new media for advertising and as a result, we are the first part of the company to have a twitter account. This to date has been very successful with some excellent followers leading to a great review of the event on Truckstop.co.uk

RDPR congratulated three of its clients at the North West Insider Property Awards last night. Cheshire-based Pochin was named as Contractor of the Year, Hill Dickinson was named Commercial Property Law Firm of the Year and GVA was awarded Office Agent of the Year at the ceremony, which is the region's longest-established awards programme for the commercial property industry.

Hill Dickinson's entry highlights included work for Peel Energy, a major refinancing and a raft of work for Electricity North West.

Over 870 guests were at Manchester Central to see Pochin, Hill Dickinson and GVA pick up their awards at the glittering black tie event, which was hosted by TV star Rory Bremner. The awards comprised thirteen different categories and were decided by an independent panel of judges covering areas of expertise right across the commercial property spectrum.
Lisa Morton, managing director at RDPR said: "We are extremely pleased for our clients on their awards, which are all very well deserved. We have worked with the teams at Pochin, GVA and Hill Dickinson for many years and it is great to see them being celebrated for their hard work and dedication."

01/06/2011: How-Do Awards
Roland Dransfield is proud to have received the only Highly Commended award in the category of PR Agency of the Year 2011 at this year’s How-Do Awards, the single biggest gathering of media and marketing services people in the North West.
The judges said that they awarded the special commendation because “at a time when most agencies have been making redundancies and cutbacks, Roland Dransfield continued to invest in skilled people and new client services, in particular, a strong new offer in digital communications, social media and PR training packages” .
Roland Dransfield will be 15 years old this year so we are particularly thrilled to have won the award at a time when we have been making significant changes to the business.
We would like to thank our clients and friends for all their continued support over the years. Without this – particularly during the recent turbulent times – we would not have been able to keep the team together and to invest in new people and services, to further support your businesses.
