Kia Drive Day, June 2024

A big thanks to the Kia UK PR team for putting on a drive day for the Group at the Bishopstrow Hotel and Spa in Warminster on June 5.

The event gave members a chance to get up to speed with most of the Kia range, including the EV6 and EV6 GT, EV9, Sportage, Stonic and Niro.

During dinner, there was also an opportunity for the Group to toast the Kia UK PR team’s success at the 2024 Newspress Awards, announced earlier that day.

Dan, Tom, Milissa, Jonathan, Chloe and Will completed a clean sweep of the PR categories at the prestigious awards.

The team as a whole won the Automotive Press Office category for the seventh year in a row, while Dan Sayles (Head of Press and Public Relations) and Will Rees (Press Officer) collected the awards for Automotive PR and Rising PR star respectively.

It’s no surprise to us that the Kia UK PR team is the best in the business. They can’t be beaten when it comes to media relations and event management, and they will always go that extra mile to make sure that we get what we need, whether it’s content or queries answered.

We’d like to thank Kia UK PR for their continued support of the Western Group of Motoring Writers and we look forward to our next chance to drive their ever-expanding range.
