Join us to hear from the food editors at The Times & Sunday Times and The Evening Standard as they discuss their pages and how they like to work with PRs. In our third Q&A of the day Freelance Food Writer Clare Finney will explain what makes a perfect food press release. 

Why attend?

Roxhill Club events give PRs unique access to hard-to-contact journalists and editors from the UK’s top media outlets. We ask the awkward questions so you don’t have to, and get the insider information that can make the difference between an ignored email and piece of valuable coverage.

Each session costs £40. We would love you to attend all three sessions, so we are offering a bundle price of £105 for the whole morning –  £15 off the final session. Please contact holly.ewen@roxhillmedia.com for more information and to receive your discount code.
