About Refresh.

Refresh is a PR and communications agency that delivers work that makes a difference.

We work with B2C and B2B brands across industries, helping them cut through the noise with clear, effective communications that drive real business results.

No fluff, no overcomplication – just smart strategy, strong ideas and campaigns that land.

Our approach is built on solid thinking and straight-talking consultancy. We don’t say yes to everything. Instead we challenge, shape and refine to make sure what we deliver will actually work. Then we execute at pace, creating campaigns, content and coverage that build reputation, shift perception and get audiences to act.

We become an extension of our clients’ teams so we can deliver advice and activity that has genuine impact.

With over fifteen years in business, a highly experienced team and a proven track record of award-winning work, we’re trusted to deliver when it matters.

At Refresh, it’s simple: we do work that delivers.

We picked Refresh as our PR agency due to their extensive HVAC industry experience and confidence to challenge our brief, both which instilled confidence. Our campaign was a particularly important one as we launched our manifesto and ramped up our commentary around the important ever-important skills agenda. We’ve been really pleased with the work so far and like the campaign as it’s scalable and gives us legs to do much more with it in the future. The team at Refresh are extremely knowledgeable about the industry and easy to work with – as an added bonus, we really get on with them as people and always look forward to our meetings.

The roundtables orchestrated by Refresh have been effective for our business. They created a unique and engaging forum that allowed us to achieve three critical objectives simultaneously. First, the events cemented Polypipe Building Products and the wider Genuit Group as the market leader and a voice of authority on key legislation affecting housebuilders and the wider construction sector. The discussions provided a platform for us to share our expertise and influence the conversation on vital industry topics. Second, the roundtables were instrumental in increasing our direct contact with partners across the housing sector, including housebuilders, social housing providers, trade associations, and specifiers. This has been invaluable for building relationships and creating new business opportunities. Finally, these events successfully positioned us as a full sustainable solutions provider. The opportunity to showcase our expertise beyond products has been crucial for demonstrating our value as a strategic partner to the industry. Together we create sustainable living.
