Hartlebury’s DRPG celebrates its Queen’s Award for Enterprise
Global creative communications agency DRPG, which has its headquarters in Hartlebury, was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development at their summer conference.
The conference brought together more than 400 of DRPG’s team members from across the company’s eight global offices.
They were joined by by Lt Col Patrick Holcroft LVO OBE CStJ, the Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire, who presented the group with its official certification for the accolade.
CEO of DRPG, Dale Parmenter, said: “After welcoming 100 new team members over the past 12 months, expanding into new offices in Manchester and most recently, the US, it was fantastic to welcome everyone collectively at our studio complex in Hartlebury for a day of reflection and celebration.
“The events industry has sprung back to life again, and this was a perfect example of what we do best, creating amazing experiences that are truly unforgettable.”

The conference started with business-focused content intended to motivate the group for the remainder of the year and culminated with a talk by captain of the England and GB women’s hockey teams for 13 years, Kate Richardson-Walsh.
In line with the group’s sponsorship of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, the agenda for the event and branding across the site was inflected with a sports theme. The team also hosted an ‘agency games’ together with Birmingham 2022 mascot Perry the Bull, who awarded medals to the games’ champions.
DRPG producer for this year’s company conference, Ishta Nyakoojo, said: “The conference showcased a variety of internal initiatives that are managed by our people, for our people. From a sustainability stand activation where the team could do something to give back to local communities, to a ‘cool-folk’ roof terrace full of colourful photo opportunities with the reminder that we’re all creatives if we put our minds to it.
“It was an amazing showcase of the company culture here at DRPG.”
