Recognition PR, the North East England-based national public relations and marketing consultancy, has launched a specialist team to serve clients in the energy industry supply chain.

The firm's experience and strong understanding of the oil & gas, nuclear and offshore renewables sectors, has enabled it to build up a practice of 15 energy industry supply chain companies within its portfolio of 75 clients.

Building on its expertise and reputation, Recognition PR has now formed a dedicated team to support organisations operating in these markets.Led by Jamie Collis, who is a Partner at Recognition PR with more than 15 years' public relations experience, particularly in the energy market, the Business & Energy Team is made up of experienced former journalists and marketing professionals supported by Graduate-level assistants.

Having established excellent relationships with national, regional and key trade media, Recognition PR delivers public relations strategies predominately for tier 2 and tier 3 contractors including TAG Energy Solutions, Darchem Engineering and Modus Seabed Intervention. 

The firm is also the PR and Communications partner for business development organisation, NOF Energy. Recognition works closely with NOF Energy to promote the activities of the organisation and its 420 UK and international members to the media as well as aiding the growth of its reputation as one of UK industry's leading member bodies.

Recognition PR also supports North East England's renewables group, Energi Coast. Jamie Collis played an instrumental role, working with NOF Energy, to launch the initiative, which promotes the North East’s capabilities to become a hub for offshore renewable supply chain activities. 

Jamie Collis, Partner at Recognition PR, said: "Creating a dedicated team to serve energy supply chain companies is a natural progression for Recognition PR as we have developed quite a unique understanding of the energy industry. 
"This experience and expertise has enabled us to support our clients with authority through creative and effective PR strategies. With the formation of a dedicated team we can now expand our offering to more clients and further enhance the reputation of the supply chain through the media." 

Graham Robb, Senior Partner at Recognition PR, said: "The energy industry, and in particular the oil & gas sector, is one of the jewels in the UK economy's crown and we are proud to work so closely with some of the supply chain’s leading companies. 

"With increasing activity in the oil & gas sector, alongside the emergence of the offshore renewables industries to help meet our green energy targets, there is a greater demand for the supply chains' high quality products, services and technologies. PR is an essential part of the marketing and business development mix, which plays an important role in supporting companies' ambitions to secure some of the these opportunities in the marketplace."
