"Since we started working with AFPR our profile has increased spectacularly! Angie's calm professional approach helps ensure LTP does not miss out on any PR opportunity. Not only does Angie master her brief with admirable speed, she also possesses excellent communication skills. Money well spent!”

“I have had the pleasure and privilege to work with and know Angela Fitzhugh for over eight years. Angie is a public relations professional and is the finest with which I have worked in my fourteen years with Kährs. She has done a tremendous service to our group by presenting our company, our projects and services to a vast UK, EU and global customer base that consistently garnered a tremendous response.
She is a creative and talented person that understands our industry, our goals and our customers. She has been a loyal, supportive and fantastic brand ambassador for Kährs. With the highest support possible I recommend Angie, she is a brand and public relations professional; quite truly an asset to any organization.”
Bruce Dean Uhler
Environmental Ambassador, Kährs
“As one of the world's largest producers of quality wood flooring, with a proud heritage dating back to 1847, it is vital that the partners we work with are able to match our high standards for quality and professionalism.
Working with Angela Fitzhugh PR has been a revelation; their ability to identify an opportunity and extract the maximum PR value from it has proved an enormously successful and cost effective way to increase the brand awareness of our products.
With continuous, high level exposure, through both trade and consumer press, Kährs is now one of the UK's most recognisable wood flooring brands and I am convinced that without the tireless and enthusiastic efforts of Angela Fitzhugh PR this would not have been possible.”
Harvey Booth
Country Manager, Kährs UK
"AFPR is the epitome of a good PR consultancy - reliable, knowledgeable about both the client's business and the target publications' information needs, and, above all, efficient. I know that, when I need something in a hurry, I can guarantee that with one call the problem's sorted.
I don't think there is a higher PR accolade in B-2-B publishing than the simple fact that, when the team at Kick-Start Publishing was looking for an agency to handle its own account, AFPR was the unanimous choice. That says it all!"
Joe Simpson
Editor, Kick-Start Publishing
"Angela Fitzhugh PR has consistently provided excellent support to FILA UK. We have come to depend upon Angie and see her as our rock. She is always quick to deliver and fully 'on brief'. She was very quickly able to integrate with our business and fully understand our needs, which has meant that we have been able to maximise all opportunities, and more. FILA highly recommends Angela Fitzhugh PR."
Lisa Breakspear
Business Development Manager, FILA Surface Care Products Ltd
“We have been working with Angie since September, 2006 and over that time she has very much established herself as a seamless extension of our in-house marketing department. We very much view her as a crucial, key – albeit off-site – member of the team here.
Angie works hard to make it her business to understand how our business works and what we are trying to achieve strategically and then how PR – in the broadest sense – can help achieve these aims. Regular feedback and communication keeps us on our toes (which we need!) and means we are all working towards the same goals - it is a vital element to our successful working relationship. Key areas where she has made a difference include maintaining sustained coverage; keeping up with the competition – when PR works for you like this, you feel in many ways you ‘punch bigger than your weight!’; improving our photography portfolio and providing professional opinion on our other marketing activities.”
Clare Thomas
Marketing Director, Indigenous
“We’ve worked with Angela Fitzhugh PR since 2015. As we started to develop our brand, we decided that we needed to employ a professional PR agency to help us grow awareness of Tilemaster and its products. One of our customers was working with Angie and recommended her highly; at the time, she was writing an article for them about one of our products and she contacted me for information. I provided some bullet points and was impressed by what Angie created from not a lot of information!
Angie has ensured that she understands our business, products and values inside out. She undertakes a number of activities for us, including writing our technical copy, liaising with publications and alerting us to any potential opportunities. She is regularly in touch and always delivers. We would absolutely recommend her."
Mark Kelly
Managing Director, Tilemaster Adhesives Limited

Without doubt, Angie has been a pivotal part of where our success lies today - as the UK’s market leader in design-led wooden floors.”
Alex Davidson
Sales & Marketing Manager, Kährs UK
“I’ve known Angie for several years, having worked with her as a journalist in the FM sector, when I was an editor and she was a PR, and over the past few years in the flooring sector. She is, in my opinion, an absolutely outstanding agent for the companies she represents, as well as being one of the nicest people you could meet in any industry. Professional, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile, Angie’s personal touch means her companies are given the best possible opportunities for exposure.”
David Strydom
Editor, Contract Flooring Journal

“I have worked with Angela for various different interior TV shows, on which I have presented. I have also worked with a lot of big PR Companies. Angela is an exception to the normal stereotypical PR Company. Working with Angela is more personable and she treats every project with integrity and professionalism. She is extremely efficient and knows the A-Z of her clients' products.
Angela’s clients have been immensely generous and have helped with a charity close to my heart, of which the Duchess of Kent is Patron. I would highly recommend Angela over any big PR company!”
Jake Robinson
BBC TV Presenter
“Angela is an imaginative and committed PR who ensures that her clients are always at the forefront of my mind when putting features together – and has even proved to be the inspiration for a few features ideas herself.
I view most PRs as pests to be avoided at all costs; Angela is different. She’s informative, clued up on her clients’ product ranges and most crucially gets material to me when I need it; she is imaginative and talented at ensuring her clients get the best coverage possible and as a result I view her less as a PR and more of a colleague.”

Editor, Homebuilding & Renovating
