We are proud to announce we have landed the UK and Ireland PR account for TAP Air Portugal.

TAP Air Portugal being a via strategy airline taps into our niche expertise as we have managed multi award winning PR campaigns for other airlines such as Finnair and Icelandair.

We will be responsible for defining and executing the airline’s communication strategy in the UK and Irish markets, as well as managing its relationship with the media.

We have a 15 year reputation of delivering targeted and impact driven campaigns that help our clients in the travel, aviation, tourism and hospitality sectors to grow and thrive.

Our founder Sarah Stephens explains

“We are thrilled to be working with TAP Air Portugal at what is an extremely exciting time for the airline. We will be looking at strengthening awareness of their via routes to Brazil, Africa, Madeira, Azores, the USA and Canada as well as promoting their stop over programme that allows travellers to break up their journeys in either Lisbon or Porto for up to 7 days.”

“My 25 year plus knowledge of luxury hospitality alongside travel and aviation will strengthen the reach of planned campaigns about wine tourism, wellness and sport destination travel so it makes us the perfect fit for TAP Air Portugal.”

Ricardo Dinis Area Sales Manager UK and Ireland for TAP Air Portugal explained

“The UK and Ireland are key markets for TAP Air Portugal, and we’re delighted to be working with Tree Communications. Their expertise and strategic approach to media relations will support our ongoing growth and brand visibility in both markets.”

TAP Air Portugal currently flies from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Manchester airport in the UK and from Dublin in Ireland to Lisbon and Porto with onward connections to Brazil, Africa, Madeira, Azores, the USA and Canada. TAP has a stop over programme allowing passengers to stop in either Lisbon or Porto on long haul journeys for up to 7 days for no additional air fare.

Very excited for 2026!

Introduce a 'Neon Signs Protection Act' or similar, to protect the neon sign making industry. This would mean that only products that are made from glass tubes and filled with an inert gas (mainly neon and argon) can be labelled, promoted and sold as a neon sign.

OMG I'm absolutely buzzing now after delivering an amazing PR training session for Lucy Shrimpton's Sleep Nannies. Loved the questions I was asked just hope the clown didn't scare anyone (if you know you know 😜!)

I am trying to do more bespoke trainings in other groups and membership communities so if I can speak in yours or in someones you know please drop me a message.

I'm also getting onto more stages too either with a talk that covers my child loss awareness story and travel called "Why a holiday is so much more than just a holiday" or PR masterclasses/trainings at any level from basics up. to finely tuning an existing PR strategy.

Dm me or tag someone with a stage I can speak on please!

Morning loved having a conversation yesterday with a wonderful business contact/ friend who said he’s shared details of our Push your own PR Day with several friends who are all looking to travel down to Manchester for it together!

Fills me with so much excitement and he was pleased to hear me explain that we will tailor what we deliver to make it relevant for the attendees too with examples related to them and their industries or areas of expertise too. There’s nothing cookie cutter or bog standard about what me or Beverley Steele do this is why we are two of the best PRs.

If you haven’t seen the info yet about our event it’s one day on 28th February in person in Manchester Push your own PR. We will sit down with you and teach you how to do your own PR. We will help you to write your own press release, we will share what stories the media are looking for right now and you will create an action plan that can be implemented when you leave. Beverley (ex-tv broadcast journalist) will teach you how to deliver an introductory piece to camera too.

Beverley is an ex journalist who has worked in print and tv media now she’s an award winning PR having taken the female of the year crown at the Cheshire Club Business Awards. She has over 20 years experience to share. She runs award winning Steele PR working with large public sector organisations and large corporations. Beverley approaches PR from a broadcast and media perspective.

I have a background in sales and marketing for travel, hospitality, events and leisure before moving into pure PR 16 years ago. Also multi award winning I have done PR for airlines, international events, SMEs and business founders too. I come at PR from a marketing perspective. I have also written marketing modules and delivered courses for MMU business school for their post graduate and under graduate students.

So what does this mean? This means that you get the benefit of both our differing experiences and perspectives of PR. What me and Beverley don’t know about PR probably isn’t worth knowing. So for you to spend a day with us together (which hasn’t ever happened before) will be absolutely priceless for you and your business. You will benefit from over 40 years of our knowledge and experience.

You will walk away with a press release you have written with the knowledge of how to write others, intel about what stories the media want right now, an action plan for what you will do when you leave and also at least one piece of media coverage guaranteed (or we will continue working with you until the story lands).

We wanted to make the price accessible for those of you who would love to work with us on an ongoing basis but don’t have the budget just yet so the day is £450 to attend.

For those wanting a little more enhanced packages are available including dinner afterwards with myself and Beverley and the other VIP ticket holders which will benefit those of you who would like to continue to talk through your ideas, bounce angles of us and mastermind with other delegates too.

I’ve popped a link to book in comments and the first 5 who book will get a pre-event one to one with myself to help you prepare so you can really make the most of the event.

Feel free to comment yes or DM me if you’d like a chat about whether it might be the right thing for you

Who says PRs can’t collaborate and work together?

Combined, we make a powerful inner circle of skill and insight spanning across newspapers, Radio TV, PR, Social Media, Sales and Marketing. What we don’t know about PR isn’t worth knowing!
