Our travel retail group has outsourced its services to FIVESTAR PR since 2000, and this has given us the edge in media exposure and involvement. What makes FIVESTAR PR unique, is the personal service Janie and her team provides, and the excellent network of contacts within the media world, which we believe plays a vital part of PR work.’
