Award for The Shed's PR Director

A hefty pat on the back for Sophie Banks who looks after the public relations side of this blog and The Shed magazine. In the biggest ever Freelance of the Year UK awards organised by people resourcing company Xchangeteam, Sophie has won in the category of PR & Communications and was commended for "generating interest and publicity that led to the client being covered in the regional and national press...virtually saved the company from going under." (not us, I hasten to add). Among her other clients is the new startup Gogoblin which enables children and teenagers to make free and secure online wish lists.
