ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Wilkinson PR, a full service Corporate Affairs and Public Relations agency with
offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth has become the latest Asia Pacific firm
to join IPREX, the global corporation of independent public relations and
communication firms.

Wilkinson PR (www.wilkinsonpr.com.au) was established in 2002 by Peter
Wilkinson, a journalist and producer who became widely-known in Australia for
his work on some of the most powerful stories shown on television, on Channel
Nine's 60 Minutes and A Current Affair as well as ABC Televisions` Four Corners

With an exceptional background in media relations, the firm has grown its

commercial property and infrastructure, health and biotech, industry
associations and retail.

CEO Peter Wilkinson commented: "I think IPREX will be a good fit for us.
Australia is seen as a first-port-of-call for many US and EU companies expanding
overseas. As well we are an exporting country and many local companies look for
external relationships. In the past six years we`ve managed campaigns for
Australian industries in the US, the UK and other countries in Europe, as well
as the Middle East."

IPREX President Asia Pacific David Ketchum (Upstream Asia, Hong Kong) commented:
"Wilkinson PR is a high quality firm doing impressive work for blue-chip clients
- which fits the IPREX profile perfectly. Peter`s team will bring additional
strengths in media, crisis and issues communication and government relations to
our clients and partners."
