Limitless PR has launched a new professional services team and opened a new location in Manchester. The agency has introduced a dedicated Professional Services PR team to support firms operating across legal, financial, accountancy and corporate finance sectors.
The team includes new associate directors Stuart Anderson and Emma Radcliffe, who will work alongside associate director Justin Strong and be supported by agency director Michael Gregory.
Combined, the team has more than 100 years of experience, having worked for firms such as Napthens, Hill Dickinson, Keoghs, Glaisyers ETL, Clarion Wealth, Beevers and Struthers, and Mathys & Squire. In addition, the team has worked for banks including Co-operative, Yorkshire Bank, and NW Mutual, and has completed projects for the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
The new team coincides with Limitless PR establishing a presence in Manchester, with a new base at Colony Fabrica in New Islington, which adds to its other locations in Blackburn, Lancaster and Preston.
Michael Gregory, director at Limitless PR, said: “The launch of our dedicated professional services team is a natural next step for us as we look to expand our reach. We have a team of talented and experienced people who have built a strong track record working with organisations across legal, financial and consultancy sectors, so formalising this expertise allows us to deliver even greater value to clients.
“At the same time, opening a base in Manchester puts us in the heart of a thriving professional services ecosystem, and it’s an exciting move that supports our long-term growth ambitions. Furthermore, bringing seasoned professionals such as Stuart and Emma, who have decades of experience, into the Limitless fold solidifies our offering in this sector.”
Stuart has almost three decades’ experience in business and finance media and PR, including working as editor of several specialist publications, as a public relations consultant, and as an in-house communications manager.
His specialist fields include corporate finance; in particular SME/mid-market mergers and acquisitions, professional services and regulated financial services. As a former editor of a leading regional business magazine targeting owner-managers, Stuart reported on hundreds of M&A, fundraising, investment, and other transactions during his career.
Emma has more than 20 years’ experience in professional services PR. She has worked at some of the UK’s most renowned specialist PR agencies, enabling her to work with a wide variety of consulting firms of all sizes and types.
She advised on PR for the full-service firm Browne Jacobson and also worked in-house for the intellectual property firm Mathys & Squire, taking a lead on PR and marketing. In addition, she also worked for Lambert Smith Hampton where she led on all PR activity for one of the UK’s largest surveyors.
