REPRESENT, the Edinburgh-based PR and digital communications agency, has announced that they are to step down as communications and PR advisors for the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) and the Royal Highland Show, at the end of March following a 25-year partnership.

The agency will continue to represent clients in the agricultural, rural, and sustainability sectors including Crown Estate Scotland, Caledonian Climate, Hopetoun Estate, Eneco, and Rosebery Estates.

Describing the move as a ‘tough decision’, Represent’s managing director, Judith O’Leary, praised the efforts of her team, who have worked closely with RHASS directors and staff during periods of significant change.

Alongside veteran agricultural PR and Represent chairman, Ross Muir, Judith began working with RHASS and the Royal Highland Show team in the mid 1980s.

Commenting on her agency’s departure Judith said: “It has been an absolute honour to have been a part of the RHASS journey over the last 25 years and to have played such a vital role in the phenomenal success of the Royal Highland Show.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the RHASS directors and staff during this time and are proud of the part we have played in supporting the society and show.

"It was a tough decision, but the timing was right for us to move on, and we wish the fantastic team at RHASS and the Royal Highland Show every success for the future.”
