The rain didn’t stop us from enjoying our annual Pier Away Day! 🌧️

We began the day with a business overview, reflecting on the hard work from across the last year and shaping our plans for the next, before lunch at Marinero Lounge.

Rounding off the day at Cluetopia Ipswich for an escape room adventure in search of the fabled Treasure Island and good news – we escaped! 🏝️

A lovely day spent celebrating, reflecting and working together as a team.

DCO secured for DBS Offshore Wind Farm! ✅🌊⚡

The project, a joint venture between RWE and Masdar, has an estimated combined capacity of 3GW and could generate enough electricity to meet the average annual domestic electricity needs of around 3 million typical UK homes.

We're proud to have been part of the journey, supporting stakeholder and community engagement as the project worked its way through the consenting process. Engaging communities isn't always easy but getting it right matters. Well deserved, DBS team! 🌍

In 2024 we started working with Ørsted Onshore on the stakeholder engagement and communications for Kingfisher Solar Farm. That work has now evolved, and, along with new partners PS Renewables, we are proud to be part of the DCO team for Clean Air Solar Farm. Pleased to see this project now in the public domain as we drive forward the consultation strategy.

Clean Air Solar Farm is an updated version of an existing plan to build a site near Beverley.

Watch this space! Amazing to attend Insight Energy’s relaunch event this afternoon. We couldn’t have said it better, it was the right people in the right place. 🌍

A massive congratulations to Steve and the entire Insight Energy team - a pillar of the East Anglian energy sector.

Good to see so many industry friends and to make some new ones. With an added bonus for Kate to make some introductions for our newest edition Francesca! 💫

It’s always good to step away from the day-to-day and sharpen your tools. Today Sian and Francesca spent some time hearing directly from Ipswich.co.uk in their shiny new office about what journalists actually want when businesses pitch stories.

A few takeaways that stood out for them:

💡What makes a great story? Timing, impact, novelty, and human interest. It’s not always about what, where, and when - sometimes the best stories are in the how and why.
💡Imagery matters. Think high-quality, high-resolution, and visually compelling. Strong visuals stop the scroll.
💡Coverage only counts if people actually see it. And they’ll only see it if it feels relevant and valuable to them.
💡AI is here to stay, journalism has changed and you can’t be left behind. The real human value is in uncovering that angle, providing expertise, and being the input that AI outputs are useless without.

Thanks to Oliver and for the discussion and honest insight.

18 years of Pier! 🍰🥂

It’s a pretty serious Pier-a-versary for Kate today and what better way to celebrate than with cake (caterpillar cake to be exact).

Old enough to be called adults… but still curious, ambitious, and a teeny bit rebellious. Thank you all for being part of the journey. 💫

There’s something powerful about getting local businesses in a room together.

Kate and Amy attended today’s East Anglian Daily Times Business Awards Insight & Networking Event - what a great reminder of the strength of our Suffolk business community.

From insightful words by David Scrivener of Ensors, to hearing first-hand from last year’s winner Sarah Warren of TMJ Interiors, the message was clear: there is so much innovation, resilience and ambition in our region and the EADT Business Awards provide a great platform to show case this.

Huge credit to Anna Starnes and the EADT team for bringing everyone together — and thanks to everyone we connected with. Great to meet you Anna and huge congratulations on your new role.

Are you entering the EADT Business Awards this year? Or have you entered before? We’d love to hear your experience. 👇

It’s National Careers Week and this year is all about owning your future.

There is no one single route into PR and at Pier, we’re asking our team:

➡️ How did I get here?
➡️ What helped me most along the way?

What we found? Different detours, different starting points, different setbacks all with one key similarity - backing yourself and owning your own future! 💪✨
