Goodbye Internship

By Adam Gron, Public Relations Intern, The Scott Partnership

Right… There is no easy way to start with this reflective post so I’ll just do it: big thanks to all of you!

A few things I’ve learned during this crazy journey through the unexplored shores of PR practice at The Scott Partnership:

One: Be enthusiastic.

Two: If you are unsure about something you have to do (or feel totally lost like me during my first days) ask questions! Nothing questioned, nothing learned!

And three: Respect the people you work with. They’re the people that motivate and inspire you. At The Scott Partnership there is something about the team that has always encouraged me to run faster, work harder and face down my fears when I had to move out of the comfort zone. And that is, without doubt, the best way to learn.

Manchester-based Analytical Technology Achieves Record Turnover as Water Industry Thrives

Manchester, UK (July 28, 2011) Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical Technology Inc. today announces that the company has gone from strength to strength since its inception in 1998, culminating in a record month for the business in June 2011. This spectacular achievement demonstrates the buoyancy of the current market for water monitoring instrumentation, despite the present economic recession. It is also a demonstration of the ongoing and imperative need for reliable water monitoring in the water utility industry to ensure a safe and continuous supply of water.


This year Manchester-based Analytical Technology has had its strongest first half ever and this culminated in June sales being the highest on record. A large component of the June sales, which peaked at £1.2 million for the month, can be credited to the recent contract signed by Analytical Technology with Severn Trent Water, involving the purchase of 250 Analytical Technology residual chlorine monitors in June alone. Analytical Technology is also supplying Yorkshire Water with more than 450 chlorine monitors and has enjoyed repeated success in recent years, providing instrumentation to other major utility companies such as United Utilities, Scottish Water, Thames Water, Anglian Water and South West Water.
