A new venture promoting Highland products has made an unexpected Cotswolds connection, thanks to the Courier.
Our story about A Whale of a Time, a new service from Inverness PR agency Whale-like-fish, which brings together a selection of goods and products from 23 firms across the Highlands and Islands in a range of curated gift boxes, was read by Cradlehall resident John Mackenzie, who in turned shared it with his son, Alistair.

Each week, we ask small businesses key questions. Here we speak to Eilidh Marshall, director and co-founder of Inverness firms Whale-like-fish and A Whale of a Time
Q. How and why did you start in business?
A. Helen Ross and I started Whale-like-fish in Inverness in February 2019, having worked together at another PR agency for a few years. We saw a gap in the market to help more businesses access PR services by using a new business model that moved away from day rates. Instead, we created a price list for each of our services and applied a more consumer-friendly model, which includes a loyalty scheme. Our clients are rewarded for repeat business and know exactly what they’re paying for each service in advance.
