Dale Parmenter, CEO of integrated creative communications agency drp has recently been honoured as a Fellow within the EVCOM association at this year’s Fellowship Awards, 1 November. This annual event takes place at the House of Lords in the Palace of Westminster and recognises those who have made an extraordinary contribution to the events and visual communications industry.

The Fellowship Awards invites a selection of leading professionals from across the industry to celebrate the outstanding work and contributions made by Fellows who have been chosen for being the trailblazers of the power of communications.

In association with GROSVENORFILM, the ceremony rewards outstanding involvement in the communication industry and celebrates innovative, visionary and outstanding achievement in communication. Previous Fellows include outstanding communicators such as Sir Martin Sorrell, Dame Anita Roddick, Sir Bob Geldof, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Baroness Grey-Thompson and Kevin Spacey.

Group CEO of drp, Dale Parmenter, says, “I am overwhelmed to be honoured with this fellowship award. I’m fascinated by the power of communication and I have a particular passion for internal comms. If we’re not obsessed with our people, we will never realise true profit, shareholder value, creativity or innovation, and our values and culture will stand for very little”

He continues, “Communication is not just about one channel; it is the ability to control and use multiple channels at the same time, and today we are blessed with a multitude of toys in our communication box. Thank you to EVCOM, I’m extremely proud to be recognised as a Fellow for the industry.”
