A Very Royal Gifting Lounge

Sadly this years Royal Variety Performance has been all over the news today for the wrong reasons, after the car Prince Charles and Camilla were travelling in was attacked by student protesters. Despite this unfortunate event, it didn't appear to dampen the spirits of the guests and incredibly talented artists at this years event held at The London Palladium.

I was delighted to be backstage in the Lily James talent retreat with new client, Eve Taylor, Professional Aromatherapy Skin and Body Care. Founder, Eve Taylor OBE, was there in person with Marie, Lead International Educator for the company to show case their award winning products and newly launched men's range. Other companies backstage included Yankie Candles, Swap Watch and phone, Zoom Teeth whitening and Pamperazzi Ltd.

We were there throughout the day as the artists were rehearsing. In between performances celebrities including Robbie Williams, Susan Boyle and Russell Watson were introduced to the companies backstage and gifted with their products. Everyone taking part was delighted by the interest they received in their products and services and enjoyed the chance to meet such talented performers from stage and screen. I was lucky enough to sneak a peak at pop Princess Kylie as she took to the stage singing her latest single, and was giggling away at host Michael McIntyre who is one of my comedy heros.

Reporters from The Independent and Mirror met with all the companies to find out which celebrities had been gifted with products, getting all the insider gossip for their readers.

Kate Walsh Interview for Life & Style Magazine

Kate Walsh is such a lovely lady, incredibly friendly, chatty and business minded. It was a great privilege to interview Kate for Life & Style magazine's November issue. I was keen to find out how everything is going with her showbiz job co-presenting Live From Studio Five with Jayne Middlemiss and more about her time on the apprentice. Lord Alan Sugar does sound like quite a challenging character to work with, but a lot of people do admire his blunt and very direct approach. It was also interesting to learn that in Kate's school days a former teacher actually recommended that she take up a career in TV presenting. Whilst Kate's showbiz career wasn't quite the one she planned, she is enjoying every minute! With Kate's warm persona, natural beauty and business sense, I am in no doubt she will be lighting up our screens for a long time to come.

T4 Stars 2010

I look forward to T4 events as they are always bursting with some of the UK's most talented artists. T4 Stars 2010 is an annual concert held at Earls Court, London to celebrate the most popular songs of the year and look at who has been dominating the charts. The show is broadcast on channel 4 going out to a massive audience. This year I was delighted to support new clients Abbeygate Wealth Management and Sepatu. Pevonia also gave out gift bags including their new travel skincare kits. Both new clients introduced their products and services to celebrities including Pixie Lott, N-Dubz, Ellie Goulding, JLS, The Saturdays, Alexandra Burke and The Wanted. The event organised by Lily James, was a fantastic event with all brands making some excellent contacts with artists and their management.

Celebrity Interviews for Life & Style Magazine

There is nothing I like more than a bit of celebrity gossip, so I was in my element when I was asked to interview Kate Walsh and Ali Bastian for Life & Style magazine. Both ladies had a lot in common, blonde, beautiful, talented and highly ambitious! I really enjoyed finding out who Ali is backing in this years Strictly come dancing and what Kate really thinks of Lord Alan Sugar.

GSPR Support Jodie Kidd Foundation Golf Day

Jodie Kidd's Annual Charity Golf Day and Gala dinner is always a star studded event and this year was no exception.

GSPR was delighted to support Jodie again this year to help raise money for The Jodie Kidd Foundation in aid of The NSPCC, Monsoon Trust and Fredricks Foundation. Despite the rainy weather, Jodie's celeb pals, including Dragons Den star Peter Jones, GMTV presenter, Andrew Castle and footballer, Jamie Redknapp enjoyed 5 hours on the GoodWood Golf Course.
 

Before teeing off the celebs enjoyed hot towel shaves from expert barber Gavin Ashley, hot lava shell massages from beauty expert Clare at Shared Beauty Secrets and goody bags from SBC.

The evening kicked off with a champagne reception at the breathtaking Goodwood House. We then enjoyed a sumptious three course dinner before the auction began.

Over £42,000 was raised in the auction alone, so a fantastic result for the charities.

Auction prizes included a private polo lesson with Jodie and Jack Kidd as well as a week away at the Kidd's Barbados holiday home, including first class flights.

Lingfield Park also kindly donated a weekend away for two at their beautiful racecourse, golf, hotel and spa.

It was a pleasure to support such an amazing event, and I am already looking forward to next year!
