Services Provided

A comprehensive but flexible package of PR/IR services that can readily be tailored to an individual client's requirements.

Our team is well-versed in the financial/investment aspects of business in the City and this is accompanied by practical knowledge and understanding of the international minerals industry gained through direct employment and site visits. This expertise is coupled with broad financial and technical journalistic experience which is reflected in the ability to prepare accurate, interesting and easily understood press releases on behalf of clients.

Over the years, COLPR has established close contacts with the important institutions, fund managers, bankers, brokers and analysts who are active in the sector. It has also developed an excellent relationship with the financial and business correspondents of the national press, investment and technical publications, news wires and on-line services. COLPR is a good communicator that quickly and efficiently distributes announcements and information to the target audience and promptly responds to queries about client companies and their activities. These are important considerations if a company is to stand out from the crowd.

COLPR can provide advice and assistance on London listings, particularly the popular AIM route, and we can also point to a less-costly alternative way of raising a company's profile in London. We have a particular competence for showing Australian and North American companies considering such a listing how they can gain competitive advantage and raise their profile and we are able to use the experience of our own Stock Exchange listing to provide insight into the procedures, requirements and costs of so doing.

COLPR is independent of any other City group and is therefore impartial and unbiased in its advice to clients.
