As a new year dawns at Howle HQ, we felt it was a good time to look back at 2016.
We have had the privilege to bring you some amazing success stories and we’ve listed some highlights below.
The year got off to a great start with the launch of a potentially lifesaving vaccine packaging solution from Woolcool. This was quickly followed by a super project for Croft Architecture, helping fit out the brilliant Flip Out trampoline centre in Stone.
We’ve helped businesses mark their anniversaries and celebrated their successes, reported on major growth for companies including Carthy Accountants, Graphix and the Strategi Solutions Group, and brought news of an amazing deal between pottery firm, the English Ladies Co and Disney.
Other highlights included gaining TV coverage for the Alice Charity and helping small businesses gain PR coverage for the first time.
Howle Communications has also helped clients gain awards success, with notable wins for Woolcool, in the Sentinel Business Awards, and Keycom at the ISPAs.
And finally, we were delighted to report on an MBE for one of our most longstanding clients, Keith Bott, of Titanic Brewery.

Happy New Year!
