A WELSH marketer has been honoured as one of the UK’s leading marketing professionals in a top national business industry award.

Marie Edwards, Communications and Marketing Manager for the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, was the only Welsh marketer honoured in the 2013 Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Women in Marketing Awards, held in London on November 13.

Marie was awarded Best Female Marketer in the Consumer category, and was awarded alongside peers heading up the marketing divisions
of leading multinational companies including P&G, Diageo, NewsUK and MediaCom UK.

It was the first time in the awards’ four-year history that a public sector marketer has taken a top prize, with the judges praising Marie’s creativity, leadership, innovation and delivery of exceptional results as part of her win.

Speaking of the award, Marie said:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be awarded as one of the UK’s leading marketers in a field of outstanding candidates.

“The awards highlight the exceptional work being carried out by marketers across the UK and I’m extremely proud to have gained recognition not only for marketing in Wales, but also across the public sector.

“I’ve demonstrated, with the support of a great team, that it’s possible not only to deliver creative campaigns on limited budgets and gain a return, but also to support the delivery of national high-profile projects as a way of generating additional income.”

The awards, which were founded by the volunteer Ade Onilude and are organised by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, celebrate the achievements of women in marketing roles across agencies and brands.

Onilude said: “The awards allow us to shine a light on extraordinary women who are making a difference in a profession that touches the public in millions of ways every day.

“By highlighting these women’s stories we’re not only celebrating marketing excellence, but also the skills, behaviours and expectations of modern leadership, providing inspirational and aspirational role models for future generations of marketers and business leaders.”

Congratulating Marie on her accolade, National Park Authority Chairman, Cllr Mike James added:

“I am thrilled for Marie and delighted that both she and the Authority have been recognised through this prestigious award.

“The award is testament to the fact that a relatively small public sector organisation can deliver exceptional results in a challenging climate and find new and innovative ways of delivering award-winning national campaigns and projects.”

irritated if your dog that you can begin with. Animal owners are considering getting one for most of
those functions. The wire-haired coat of fur is often seen as the best dog puppy training kennel
for your pet, the education early and acquire your dog not to

Castle Inn fun runners back festive charity event

THE ANNUAL 3 Amigos Christmas toy bike run is under way this afternoon (Saturday), with hundreds of motorcyclists setting off from Pembroke to raise funds for children’s services.

Riders gathered at The Commons car park in Pembroke from around midday before departing shortly after 1:00pm. The festive convoy is travelling along its traditional route, taking in Pembroke Dock and continuing through parts of the county including Neyland, Milford Haven and Haverfordwest.

The event is organised by the 3 Amigos and Dollies Motorcycle Group and has become a much-anticipated Christmas tradition in west Wales, with toys and donations collected for children receiving care within the Hywel Dda University Health Board area.

Also supporting the event are fun runners from the Castle Inn in Pembroke, who have been fundraising in aid of the 3 Amigos. The group are pictured alongside participants from today’s run.

The 3 Amigos have been raising funds for children’s wards and health charities for more than twenty-five years, with their Easter and Christmas events continuing to make a positive difference to young patients and their families.

Organisers have thanked the public for their support and asked road users to be mindful of the large convoy as it passes through towns and villages this afternoon.
