Izzy PR cleaning up with new client
Calibre Cleaning has appointed Chamber member Izzy PR as its new marketing agency.
The company is looking for growth this year and has asked the Favershambased agency, headed up by Sarah Hawes, to come in and help. Run by Karen Thomas, Calibre Cleaning has previously undertaken marketing in-house but with staff focusing on the growth plan, outsourced support was needed. Larger commercial contracts across a wider geographical area are helping the company to grow; recommendations are frequent and high quality. New clients are coming on-board each month to join Kent Cricket and The Maidstone TV Studios on the roster.
Izzy PR will be refreshing their website content, writing news and blogs, creating social media content and looking for PR opportunities. Karen said: “We have moved the business in a new direction this year and with that, we need a new input into the marketing.
“Sarah comes recommended and has worked with many Chamber members.
“Every client is different and has different requirements and so we work very closely with them. This is what we need to spend our time doing, whilst Izzy PR runs the marketing strategy for us.” Sarah said: “Calibre Cleaning is, like many of us, getting on with the client work whilst at the same time, wanting the marketing done too – but there are only so many hours in the day! “We’re excited to be working with Karen and the team to raise their profile, refresh their website to reflect their current services and put some interesting social media content out there.”

BAE Systems in Rochester: world
leading technology in the heart of Kent
Did you know that some of the most advanced electronic and avionics equipment are developed, manufactured, and maintained at BAE Systems in Rochester? Home to more than 1,400 employees, with a heritage stretching back for almost a century, BAE Systems is one of Kent’s largest employers and is continually expanding and developing for the future.
A global business, with customers in over 40 countries, BAE Systems is one of the biggest aerospace and defence technology companies in the world. Employees in Rochester work on a range of exciting technologies, from flight controls and augmented reality displays for pilots, to electric propulsion for buses and boats. This year, the local council approved plans for a multi-million pound redevelopment of the site. The plan is set to change the look and feel of the Rochester facilities and will include the construction of a new state-of-the-art factory and a welcoming office space. The upgrades are in line with the business’ expectations for growth over the coming years, for which they’re currently recruiting employees. The company aims to recruit and develop talent from all backgrounds, championing the strength that a truly inclusive and collaborative workplace offers to company culture and performance. Committed to investing in the communities in which it operates, BAE Systems supports programmes that are closely connected to the business, from working with charities that support armed forces personnel and their families, to encouraging young people to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects and pursue engineering and technology careers. Rochester employees are encouraged to volunteer with one of the site’s sixteen community investment partners, including Age UK Medway, Medway Food Bank and Medway Street Angels. Earlier this year, the Rochester site donated £100,000 to the Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) Centenary Village development in Aylesford, which will support armed forces veterans and their families. Employees at Rochester continue to volunteer at the RBLI, and the company provides ongoing donations to the veterans there.
