About Us
Perris-Myatt brings together the skills and (considerable!) experience of Sarah Perris and Merryn Myatt. Sarah as a former Worldwide Communications Director for Bentley Motors, and Merryn as a former BBC newsreader and journalist.
We help individuals and organisations to build their brand and to enhance their reputation by communicating more productively. We specialise in training people in the art of dealing with journalists – particularly in a crisis. All our work is bespoke, we don’t have off-the-shelf courses. Whether we are delivering crisis management, positive media relations, personal impact, presentation training or building personal confidence:
- We tell it like it is
- We don’t do bullshit
- We give honest advice at reasonable cost
- We make it fun!

An innovative and resourceful press and communications specialist, Sarah’s sympathetic blend of skills and constructive encouragement supports organisations and individuals to communicate effectively and productively.
In her personal life, her priorities are her rugby-playing twin daughters and her various volunteer roles. Sarah is: a North West Ambassador and Presenter for Women on Boards; an Ambassador for Women in the Law; Chair of The Eifion Trust; a 'telephone friend' for Age UK and a mentor for Cancer Research UK.
