Photographer Toby Savage recently took these early morning shots of the beautiful Hornsea Mere, the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire, whilst on assignment for client Harron Homes.

Its Mere Court development is located just five minutes away and with stunning views available across the water it’s easy to understand why this selection of homes is proving so popular.

Anyone watching ITV1 this week in the Central East region will be able to see a new TV commercial for The Earl Shilton Building Society, following months of hard work by the Unsworth Sugden PR team.

Our PR department has been busy liasing between the client, ITV and the production company in order to produce this 30 second ad aimed at increasing brand awareness.

The commercial was first shown on Monday morning (26th October) and will appear on your TV screen at regular intervals until early Sunday evening (1st November).

The ITV Central East region incorporates the majority of the East Midlands, with its catchment area going from Lincoln down to Peterborough, across to Rugby and up as far as the southern part of the Peak District.

If you manage to spot the commercial at anypoint during the week, then we’d love to hear from you. Just email Dave at davidt@unsworthsugden.co.uk with your name, location, the date you saw it and the time (or programme), along with any thoughts you may have. No prizes I’m afraid, just grateful thanks from all in the PR team!
