The East Midlands offices of leading national commercial property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) have appointed Lichfield-based Ian Strachan Communications Ltd to handle their press relations.

Ian Strachan Communications already handles the press relations for LSH's Birmingham office.

Now the Staffordshire consultancy has been engaged to provide PR support to LSH's offices in Nottingham, Leicester and Northampton.

LSH Central Regional director Ian Kibble said ISC had been handling PR for the Birmingham office for eight months and had achieved considerable success.

"Ian Strachan Communications has done a great job for us in Birmingham, raising the profile of our business significantly. Now we plan to replicate that success with our East Midlands offices." he said.

He added, "We originally chose Ian Strachan Communications because of its capabilities and contacts, and its no-nonsense approach to PR. We have a great team here in the region and Ian Strachan Communications has helped achieve the recognition our team members deserve," he said.

Ian Strachan Communications Ltd was set up 11 years ago by Ian Strachan, formerly corporate affairs director at Birmingham commercial vehicle manufacturer LDV and corporate communications director at Rover Group.

Ian Strachan said, "LSH has a great story to tell in the Midlands and I look forward to helping the firm continue its impressive record of growth and success across the region by giving the same service to the East Midlands offices that I currently provide to the Birmingham office."
