Another stellar night of trivia saw a new champion crowned – Les Quizerables of BBC Guernsey held on through a fraught finish to be named Orchard Media Quiz winners for 2013.

The Channel Islands group of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has elected a new committee for 2013. Orchard MD Steve Falla will continue his role as Chair for a third term and represent the CI Group with a seat on the national council. Steve has also been re-appointed to the CIPR membership committee in London.

We are celebrating staff development again: Orchard account executive Harriet Black has gained the Chartered Institute of Public Relations PR Diploma, receiving a distinction for her main project which focused on ethics in public relations.

The Orchard PR men’s volleyball team that is – proud winners of the Plate competition at the 2012 Guernsey Open Volleyball Tournament. Congratulations from everyone here at Orchard!
