Celebrity PR firm to open new office in Ireland

A public relations firm which specialises in representing celebrities and reality TV stars is planning to open a new office.

GO:PR, which was founded by Steph Ledigo, is looking to open a second office in Ireland as a result of a rapid year of growth.

The Wilmslow based agency works with the likes of Tanya Bardsley – who appears in the TV show Real Housewives of Cheshire.

The PR and events agency is opening its second office in Dublin next month.

Steph Ledigo said: “There’s a huge interest in celebrity culture in Ireland and our brand of events will be perfect for that market.

“Now is the time to develop our offering and we can’t think of a more perfect place than Dublin, and we will be covering the whole of the Republic of Ireland.

“I will initially be based in Dublin one day a week while recruiting staff for upcoming roles.”

The 33-year-old launched her events and PR business in 2012 as Ledigo PR.

Stephanie worked in public relations for over six years with a background in promotions within the music and radio industries building a vast network of connections whilst working on a variety of high profile projects and events.

She has worked with the likes of Jason Manford, Paddy and Christine McGuinness and stars of Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and Love Island.

Clients have included bars Neighbourhood and Victors, fast fashion house In The Style, social media marketing agency Social Chain, premier venue Peckforton Castle and independent funeral planning company Pride Planning.

Turnover has risen each year with a rise of 200% in 2017, with plans to double that again by 2019.

She now employs seven people at the Wilmslow office.
