Derby-based Paskett Public Relations has announced the appointment of two new employees.

To manage the influx of new business and existing clients, Paskett Public Relations, the specialist gardening and lifestyle PR agency, has hired social media expert Puja Kotecha as an account executive. With more than three years of experience in retail and fashion PR and social media, Kotecha joined the team early in November.

Joining Korecha to support clients – which include big brands such as BASF, Forest Garden and the Posh Shed Company – is former journalist and account executive Sarah Bryan. In addition to her newspaper experience, Bryan brings with her a background in technology and business PR as well as social media expertise.  

Commenting on her new appointment, Kotecha says, “It’s been great getting involved with both new and existing clients and helping to achieve the best possible results. I’m really looking forward to utilising not only my writing skills but also my social media expertise to help assist the team in the strongest way I can.”

Bryan adds, “I am thrilled to have joined the Paskett team at such an exciting time for the business. I have always had an interest in B2C communications as well as gardening so combining the two together is a perfect fit for me. I look forward to embarking on this new adventure.”

Graham Paskett, managing director of Paskett Public Relations, says, “I am pleased to welcome both Puja and Sarah to the Paskett team. Both ladies have great experience and enthusiasm which has shone through right from the onset. With some big plans and ideas for 2019, I look forward to working with the new team to bring it all to fruition.”
