NEWS: Shirley Mann was chosen as one of four finalists to become the Green Voice of the UK run by the Energy Savings Trust. Shirley had to be filmed giving her “manifesto” and the winner was voted for by the 200 Energy Savings Trust Green Ambassadors and all the entrants in the Green Voice competition.
Shirley did not win the title but is intending to keep flying the green flag! She said “I was so thrilled to make it through to the final four from more than 100 applicants and to be able to meet Joan Ruddock MP, Minister for Energy and Climate Change at the House of Commons. My job is getting the ethical message out there but I also try to live as sustainably as possible. I don’t always get it right, but I try. I do believe that if we all make little changes it will add up to a huge change but we are all still underestimating how much we are going to have to change our lifestyles to avoid some major tipping points for the planet.”

The company was started in 2000 when Shirley started up Harvest PR. With her background in journalism and environmental broadcasting and her strong belief in a sustainable ethos, it was inevitable Shirley would look for "green" clients. With a unique and personal way of working, Harvest became involved with promoting organisations such as Groundwork UK, The Countryside Agency (now Natural England), British Water, Ironbridge Gorge Museums, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Serious, an environmentally conscious waste management company and many others.
Media workshops were as much in demand as press releases and publicity campaigns. In 2006 Shirley and the team began to concentrate more on film making, training and writing and decided the time had come to rename the company Harvest Creative."It's a much better description of the way we work," says Shirley, "and sums up the way we feel about it. We are all enthusiastic about what we do, and take great pride in the creative process."
