  • “Rice PR is one of our 'go-to’ consultancies for clients focused on the world of work. With an ear on the wider political, media and social agenda, they double down on a deep knowledge of the future of work. This focus has helped us shape serious B2B thinking and create tangible deliverables resulting in client growth. Knowing how businesses really work from a people agenda perspective is a rare commodity, so working with them has been a real string to our bow in supporting on employer brand and B2B Thought Leadership programmes.”

  • "The world of HR and the complex issues that arise in the workplace can be challenging to define. However, delving into the experiences of those who manage it day-in and day-out adds an additional layer of complexity. That's why encountering an 'outsider' who displays genuine passion and deep interest in our highs and lows is truly refreshing. Sarah is a remarkable cheerleader who effortlessly captures our stories with sensitivity and profound insight. For anyone who seeks support in effectively communicating important issues and elevating their own profile, I wholeheartedly recommend Rice PR.”

    Lisa Haggar | Global HRD

  • “I was first introduced to Rice PR through a feature Sarah’s team had written that truly stood out in a crowd of lots of bland ‘same-same’ content. Being able to spot and deliver a story about real human experience in a B2B market is a skill that is pretty rare and shows how immersed and committed to the issues she and her team are. If you have a story you want to tell on the people involved in the future of work, you won’t find anyone better suited.”

    Chris Butt | Cognisess & Yondur
    Founder

  • “Sarah is a changemaker with a clear vision for creating positive impact through her work. When she worked with me on my project on equity and the future of work, I felt she was driven by a passion for making good things happen. I felt she was on my side - like being in the same team, which makes the difference in being really good. She’s kind, generous, and willing to help others, and knows how to craft compelling messages that resonate. I highly recommend Rice PR for effective and communication solutions that align with their values and goals.”

    Dr Naeema Pasha | MKAI
    Director of Research

  • “Sarah’s journalism background means she has an eye for a story and creates news-worthy content focused on the audience. She’s savvy about the clients she works with – often spotting businesses on a growth trajectory with good stories to tell. Once she works with them, she is a passionate advocate for the organisation, its leaders and the wider team. Her work supporting equality and social mobility provides a unique perspective on the future of work agenda - unusual in B2B media relations and provides the edge editors are looking for.”

    Rob Buckland | Editor, Bristol Business News

  • “Having worked with Rice PR for more than five years has been a real support to ISL’s development and my own personal leadership storytelling. Sarah has developed a real ear for what I want to say and how to say it and helped me understand some of the direction to take the business in. I know if I ever need advice on some big comms moments she is always there. A high recommend to anyone looking for a full suite of PR strategy and delivery made easy."

    Alan Furley | ISL Talent CEO

  • “Sarah and her team supported us on a core piece of strategic market insight for the recruitment marketing programme. Despite a short turnaround time and wide range of requirements, Rice PR’s insight into the HR and recruitment space was pivotal in supporting us deliver this quickly and to a high standard. The research and resulting presentation helped us benchmark our position and communicate internally to a wide range of stakeholders on where to make immediate improvements as well as provide longer-term focus.”

    Elaine le Tissier | Specsavers | Marketing Lead

  • “Rice PR provides high quality news and views from business leaders that support our readership in growing their insight and knowledge across a range of relevant, topical areas. Having worked with Sarah and her team over a number of years, they have grown deep sector expertise and have a wide base of commentators to draw on as well as access to interesting research. Highly recommended if you want your story told in the business media."
