Matt Barber

Director, Global Trade Shows, Crain Communications

“Iona are the PR and marketing backbone of the PRSE exhibition. PRSE has faced many challenges over the years and being able to call on Iona’s expertise and guidance has been essential in helping to steer and grow the event.

“I have been lucky enough to work with the friendly and professional team at Iona for over a decade and they have always gone above and beyond to help make our events successful. I could not recommend them highly enough!”

Peter Marsh

Former MD, X-Tek Systems and Girbau UK Ltd

“I have worked successfully with Doug throughout a long career covering spells at Truvox International (floorcare), X-Tek (X-ray inspection technology) and the laundry sector, most recently at Girbau UK.

“Whatever the industry, they have quickly delivered PR and marketing communications results that have generated sales and raised awareness, consistently allowing us to punch above our weight. Their minimal learning curve and ability to understand their clients’ markets inside out made them a natural extension of my own team, freeing me up to concentrate on our core business operations.”

David Brown

Event Director, The Emergency Services Show

“I have nothing but praise for Iona Communications and the professional way they handle the PR for The Emergency Services Show. We’ve been working with them for eight years now and what impressed us when they first pitched for our business remains as a core strength – their shared passion for our sector. Their genuine interest in the emergency market shines through in the copy they write both for our own magazine and others in the sector.

“Iona provide a comprehensive service at a competitive price. They consistently deliver more than expected, which has resulted in improved exposure for our show year after year. I think the greatest compliment I could pay Doug and Anna is that I have recommended them to a number of our own clients.”

Paul Clarke

Managing Director, Smurfit Kappa Recycling UK

“Smurfit Kappa Recycling UK have worked with Iona for over 10 years. During that time our relationship has developed into a true partnership approach. Iona pride themselves on their ability to show initiative to move projects along on our behalf, all along showing a good blend of autonomy and understanding our core needs. Iona have also shown a flair for understanding Smurfit Kappa’s customer needs and ‘living in their world’. This has brought real benefit to us as we pursue our business goals. Finally, when it comes to the sustainable agenda, they consistently provide us with innovative guidance”
