Three members of the Partners PR team in York are celebrating a combined 40 years with the B2B PR agency.
Company director and co-owner Monica Green is marking 25 years, while senior account executives Leanne Terry and Ellie Bilton are celebrating 10 and five years respectively.
Green joined Partners PR in 2001 as an account director, having previously worked for nursery goods manufacturer Mamas & Papas and a London-based financial and corporate communications agency. She was later part of the management buyout team that acquired the business in 2006. Today, she manages the agency’s finance and operations, alongside working with clients in the manufacturing, IT, power, rail, and construction sectors.
Journalism Masters Terry joined Partners PR after working as features editor for one of the UK’s oldest trade magazines, while Bilton has enjoyed a varied career in retail, recruitment, legal and professional services, and is also a part-time rugby union referee. The pair help the agency deliver PR campaigns designed to raise the profile and manage the reputation of clients, while supporting their wider business objectives.
Green said: “It’s fantastic to be celebrating these milestones with Leanne and Ellie. Forty years of combined experience is a real testament to the strength and commitment of our team.
“Good PR is about much more than generating media coverage. It can help businesses grow, attract talent, prepare for succession, navigate a crisis and, increasingly, make sure they can be found and understood in an AI-driven world.
“After 25 years, I’m as enthusiastic about PR as ever. The industry has changed enormously, but the fundamentals remain the same: understanding your audience, having something meaningful to say and communicating it clearly and consistently.”
Partners PR is based at Independence House at Nether Poppleton. It is a Prolific North Top 50 PR agency and the team of seven works with UK and international businesses in the manufacturing and engineering, food and drink processing, building products, construction, rail, business and professional services sectors.
