“Valerie and Helen from PR1 are quite simply the best in the business. Within a couple months they had us featured on National Radio, Newspapers and Magazines. They were also instrumental in getting us our own TV show. They put together one of the most amazing launches for my new studio in Clarendon street and got me the right kind of exposure I needed for my business. I would recommend them to anyone and they have amazing connections with the best guest list in Dublin! With PR1 bodybyrne fitness has grown from strength to strength”

Triona McCarthy: Beauty Editor, Sunday Independent
“I’ve known Valerie Roe for over twenty years. Without her, the cultural landscape of Ireland would be a lot flatter. Don’t take my word for it. Ask Bono or Mick Jagger or Robert de Niro – or any of the other superstars who Valerie looked after in Lillies Bordello on Grafton Street.
Because of Valerie Roe, Lillies became a place that stars would seek out from foreign climes. She gave it that special atmosphere and blend – she gave it the x factor. The V Factor even. The Valerie Factor. She put Dublin nightlife – and Ireland nightlife – on the map internationally with her creative guidance and stewardship of Lillies Bordello.
Even allowing for frothy exaggeration, the blonde beauty created the vibe – made sure the mix was always right between the elite and the wannabes, the young beautiful ones and the rich not so young (and sometimes not so beautiful ones either.) But Valerie always did it with great charm and style. That’s why people kept flocking back to Lillies”
