A Wiltshire PR consultant said it is a "real honour" and "testament to the hard work" of her and her team that she has been shortlisted for a national award.

Fiona Scott, managing director of Swindon-based Scott Media, has been named as a finalist in the UK Top Business Advisers Awards.

She was chosen from hundreds of advisers in the PR industry, and across other business sectors in the UK, for her work in helping small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs use media to promote and grow their businesses.

Ms Scott, who is a finalist in the PR and content category, said: "Being shortlisted for my PR services is a real honour and testament to the hard work I and my team put in to helping our clients get in front of their potential customers, using the media.

"I am often telling my clients that entering - and, better still, winning - awards is a great way to raise their profile, so it’s nice to be taking some of my own advice."

Voting for the UK Top Business Advisers Awards closes on November 28, and the winners are set to be announced at an event in London on December 5.
