Beverley Tricker, managing director of Tricker PR, says, “We were up against some stiff competition from international operators, so to come away with a silver award is an incredible achievement for the team. We work hard to produce world-class results for our clients and are incredibly proud of the ‘Save Our Dram’ campaign, which brought the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival to the attention of the media across the UK and the world.”
