September has been a month of getting out and about, building connections and knowledge sharing. From conferences and networking events to client visits and team milestones, it’s been another busy month for the TMPR team…
Help to Grow conference
Louise Morgan represented TMPR at the Help to Grow: Management Course Welsh Alumni National Conference, joining fellow SME leaders to explore some of the big questions shaping business growth today.
We believe in choosing collaboration over competition, which is one of the things we value most about Help to Grow. It creates space for businesses to come together, share experiences and learn from each other.
Louise had the opportunity to share some of TMPR’s own marketing expertise, delivering a workshop to help attendees understand how comms can support sustainable business growth.
A big thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thank you to Jane Lynch and Danielle James for bringing this brilliant community together.
Talking Growth
With growth firmly on the agenda, throughout September we’ve been sharing our learnings from helping businesses communicate during periods of change. From acquisitions and MBOs, to new partnerships and expansion, growth can create huge opportunities – but it can also create uncertainty if people aren’t brought along on the journey.
We shared our work with Bluprintx, where we developed a comms framework to support a series of acquisitions and ensure employees, customers and partners received the right information at the right time.
We also revisited our work with Cardiff Business School on the Help to Grow: Management Course, where peer-to-peer storytelling helped turn graduates into authentic ambassadors.
And in our latest blog, we explored why M&A communications should do much more than generate coverage.
The common thread is simple: growth comms aren’t just about telling people what’s changing. They’re about protecting trust, giving clarity and creating confidence in what comes next.

Being Human
Being Human is one of TMPR’s core values, and for us that means taking the time to really understand the businesses, and the people behind them, in our network.
The team spent a lot of September really living this ethos – from visiting clients and attending networking events to getting to know new faces over a coffee. We believe there’s huge value in making time to take conversations offline and build relationships face-to-face. So, if you’re ever in or around Penarth, the door to 2HT is always open.
We’ve also made our meeting room available to hire – so if you’re looking for a professional, comfortable space (for up to 12 people) away from the usual office or coffee shop we’d love to welcome you to TMPR. Drop Jessica Hollyman a message for more details or to arrange a look around!
As September draws to a close, we’re heading into the final few months of 2026 with plenty of exciting work underway, new projects taking shape, lots of team development and dare we say… planning for Christmas 🫢🎄
See you next month! 👋
