At Phipps we’re a close PR team with diverse backgrounds. Some of us are consumer experts and some come from a corporate background. Some of us are through and through fmcg PR’s and some of us are food and drink specialists. But we’re all people you’ll like working with. We’re seriously good at what we do and we’ll always go the extra mile for each other and our clients.

When not serving up a feast in her newly decorated dining room, Liz can be found glamping in all corners of the country.

Style more net-a-porter than Next
Numbers over words
Aged debtors thing of the past

Dalany Watkins

Nothing better than camping
Tea ​makes life easier
Don’t understand parsnips
Do understand that I will have to spell out my name

Dalany is nothing other than a full throttled life chaser willing to turn her hand to anything whether it be scaling the highest peaks of the UK, jumping out of planes or playing a plethora of instruments. With a year and bit of PR experience behind her and memories of her English and communications degree fading, Dalany is as ever striding onwards to greater things.

Caroline Park

Life is not a dress rehearsal
No problem
Power to spread the word
24 hours to the day, so let's fill them

After 18 years in the industry  Caroline has pretty much seen it all and done it all.  Generic marketing and events are her key areas of expertise and with a can-do attitude she  makes things happen. Caroline doesn't really have "spare" time,  when not eventing her horse, Harry, she's on a tennis court , hurtling down a mountain on a pair of ski's or somewhere around Europe at a car event - needless to say the sofa is the least used piece of furniture in her house.
