A HARTLEBURY presentation and communication company has been presented with two prestigious awards for its impressive 25th anniversary campaign.

Earlier in the year the DRP Group started a series of re-launches and expansions which culminated in a gala dinner at the West Midland Safari Park.

Now the team has picked up a gold award for best integrated marketing campaign and a bronze award for best live event at the 2005 Meetings Industry Marketing Awards.

Dale Parmenter, managing director and founder of DRP, said: "Developments in the company this year have included increasing our range of services, taking on new team members, investing in new facilities, expanding our premises and acquiring two new companies.

"We are therefore delighted to win two awards which recognise the live event and the marketing campaign."

At the gala dinner, more than 150 guests enjoyed a banquet and entertainment before heading outside to watch DRP's specially produced anniversary stage show. The show featured local and national performers, and a multitude of special effects.

The Meetings Industry Marketing Awards were launched in 2002 to lift the standards of marketing in the meetings and events industry.
