Danny's tasty PR treat

Chef Danny Illingworth starts serving food to Christmas party guests in the next week or two.

You can safely predict that he and his expert staff at Swansea's Village Hotel won't wish to see a turkey on their own plate come December 25 - they'll be working rather a lot with that particular bird in the coming weeks.

It's good news for Village manager Andrew Petherick and his team that Danny has been chosen by Swansea Sound to give Christmas dinner tips to listeners.

In the four or five weeks leading up to the holiday, Danny will appear on a weekly basis on the Leighton Jones show (Mon-Fri, 10am-2pm).

The two got together for the first time yesterday at Swansea Sound's Gowerton studios to run through a few ideas.

As the fella who brought them together on behalf of an Effective Communication PR push, I was fortunate to sit in on their meeting.

They've some goods things planned ... and the on-air relationship looks like it may even develop into the new year.

Village people on song for new challenge

Well done to Andrew Petherick for securing a tidy piece of positive media coverage for Swansea's Village Hotel.
He was phoned by South Wales Evening Post business reporter Rupert Hall late last week, the newspaper eager to record the imminent arrival of a new Premier Inn at Swansea's SA1 quarter.
Andrew's the general manager of the Village and was quick to articulate his confidence about the future. Yes, the economy's tough, he told Rupert, but the Village has much to offer.
Since it was established in SA1 more than three years ago it has built a fine reputation for its accommodation, food and drink and leisure club.
Andrew succeeded in getting Rupert to mention all these in his story which appeared as a page lead in the Business in the Bay section of yesterday's Post.
Morgans managed similar success albeit with quotes from a faceless "spokeswoman" but the Dragon missed out with a bland "refused to comment."
So good on yer, Andrew ... and thanks for coming to Effective Communication for a little advice.
