J&PR in short

J&PR is a Wellington public-relations agency at 6 Church Street, trading as J & P R LIMITED since 2012. A team of around nine covers PR campaigns, social media, copywriting, event PR and communications training from a street-front office. Directors Kirsty Smallman and Rhea Alton launched the firm in Telford. Our verdict is that J&PR suits a business wanting PR and training from an established local office rather than a remote freelancer.

Customer reviews are strong, with a near-perfect Google score across a large set of reviews, and charter accreditation is listed on the firm's own site. Against that, no prices, rates or insurance detail are published, and the registered office sits in Wrexham while the working office is in Wellington.

Our verdict

Our verdict: J&PR suits a business that wants PR and communications from an established Wellington office rather than a remote freelancer [1] [3]. Fourteen years trading, named directors and Good Business Charter accreditation claimed on its own site count in its favour [2] [5]. Against that, no prices or insurance details are published [1].

Questions about J&PR

Is J&PR any good?

On the evidence, yes for PR briefs: it sits third in our Telford marketing agency table, holds a near-perfect Google score, and runs campaigns plus training from a real Wellington office. Published prices and insurance detail are missing. Send your story and goals through the contact form for an itemised quote.

Is J&PR a member of a trade body?

Charter accreditation is listed on the firm's own website rather than on an independent listing [2]. Look the firm up in the Good Business Charter directory and check the name matches the business you are hiring. Ask for the accreditation details alongside your quote.

How much does J&PR charge?

It publishes no prices, rates, packages or VAT terms, so PR retainers and training days are all quoted to brief [1]. That is normal for consultancy work but means comparison needs identical scopes. Send the same written brief you send other bidders and weigh the itemised replies together.

Where does J&PR work?

The practice works from Wellington in Telford and serves Telford, Shropshire and the West Midlands. PR and training travel, so briefs from further afield are worth asking about. The street-front office keeps an open door. Send your postcode with the brief to confirm you are covered.

How is J&PR ranked?

It ranks third of the ten marketing agencies in our September round, picked for PR campaigns and communications training. It trails the winner on pricing transparency and stated cover, so read those gaps on the full page. Read the review, then ask for the itemised quote.
