FINN Partners UK retains PRCA Gold Accreditation
June 12, 2026
FINN Partners UK is proud to announce it has successfully retained the Communications Management Standard (CMS) from the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA).
This prestigious accreditation serves as the gold standard for operational excellence within the PR industry. Not only has FINN Partners UK met these rigorous requirements once again, but the agency also continues to hold Gold status, a distinction reserved for firms that have maintained this hallmark of quality for over 10 consecutive years.
Sarah Waddington CBE CDir FPRCA ChartPR, CEO, PRCA said:
“Congratulations to FINN Partners on once again securing Gold Standard CMS accreditation, a distinction the agency has held since 2014. This year’s assessment recognised excellence across financial management, business improvement and people management, while also highlighting how deeply embedded FINN Partners’ ‘Work Hard, Play Nice’ ethos is within the agency’s culture and strategy. Particular praise was given to the agency’s strong values-led approach, commitment to diversity and collaboration, and its robust, best-practice frameworks for both financial management and people development.”
