KENT public relations agency, DTW, has been shortlisted for a prestigious Institute of Public Relations Excellence Award.

The Canterbury-based agency’s campaign to inform residents in Mid Suffolk about the benefits of recycling was selected for the final shortlist after judges recognised it as an example of best practice within the industry.

The Excellence Awards have been set up to raise industry standards, and acknowledge personal and team achievement at the highest professional level.

Charlie Vavasour, DTW director, said: “It seems like we’re on the crest of a wave at the moment.

“Last week we went up to number 22 in PR Week’s top regional PR agencies and now we’ve been shortlisted for a prestigious industry award, which is great recognition for the progress we’ve made since opening in Canterbury three years ago.”
