Former executive chef of The Lawns at Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa in Wirral wowed the judges when he made his debut on BBC 2's Great British Menu and the local Women's Institute were among his biggest supporters.

The Lord Clyde's chef Ernst Van Zyl put students at Hugh Baird College’s L20 Hotel School through their paces when he played guest chef for the evening.  My personal highlight was the celeriac and fennel starter with Blacksticks Blue cheese and hazelnuts.

Ernst owns, runs and cooks at The Lord Clyde in Kerridge, the only pub in Cheshire to hold three AA rosettes and one of only four North West properties to be included in the Top 50 UK Gastropub’s list 2016.  

The brainchild of owner Steven Hesketh, the new Ameriesko Liverpool brand combines American interior styling & flavour with a distinctly Liverpool personality.  Plume helped to manage the relaunch through media relations, blogger visits and social media,

At the end of 2015 EuroHostels became the newest 'hostel operator' In Liverpooll as they took over the former Hoax site.  A knock-out launch party put them firmly on the map and media reviews are ongoing.

Local food blogger Coco Cami reviewed Thornton Hall Hotel &  Spa's new tapas brasserie for me in the summer of 2015.  Her photos were such a firm favourite that the hotel has made them their official shots too.

The #selfiewithanelfie photoshoot at The Vincent Hotel had Plume's photographer in stitches - they really got in the zone and put themselves to work around the hotel too.

I launched #selfiewithanelfie as The Vincent Hotel's Christmas social media campaign in 2014 with this great fun photoshoot.  If you took a #selfiewithanelfie you were in for a treat!

A fun way to keep Southport press interested in The Vincent Hotel - the launch of the hotel's first sensory afternoon tea to coincide with the British Musical Fireworks Championship was a big hit.  A fireworks soundtrack accompanied a specially design limited edition afternoon tea complete with sparkler. That's creative news creation.

I launched the second edition of Cooking for Geeks to the UK's food blogger community in the run up to Christmas 2015.  A short notice campaign, I made sure this quirky book, which combines science and food, was a firm favourite with more than 30 bloggers in a five week period.

Such was chef Matt Worswick's excitement at being in the BBC 2 Great British Menu kitchen, he took endless snaps to keep me in the loop.  Super proud PR moment.

This image sums up the new Summer menu at The Lawns (2014) .  These images, taken by the very talented Deana Kay, were pivotal in securing a menu launch in the Liverpool Echo and have been used far and wide since.

This is one of the VIP suites at EuroHostels in Liverpool and a big part of what captured people's interest when the brand arrived in the city.  Beauty bars, hardwired GHDs, USB ports, music TV AND roomy lounge areas made the suites a big hit!

Another review of Cooking for Geeks - lovely!
