Co-founder of Gone West Thomas Silcock said: 鈥淭oast PR came highly recommended from peers in the sector. They have a strong reputation as a results-driven and dynamic PR agency operating in the technology space.
鈥淭hey immediately understood what we were trying to achieve and signed up to our Green Affilate Programme before they even pitched, which impressed us and showed us that we share similar values.鈥�
Julia Mitchell, managing director of Toast PR, said: 鈥淕one West has already commercially planted over 500,000 trees.
鈥淭hey are on a聽mission to replant the world鈥檚 forests and combat the effect travel has on our fragile environment. It鈥檚 a gift to work with a client that has taken the carbon emissions crisis into their own hands.
鈥淏y helping raise awareness of Gone West and encouraging more people to book their travel through them we feel like we are helping their mission too which is incredibly rewarding for everyone at Toast.鈥�
