Our Story

A potted history of LMC.....

The business is born. Liz sets up independently after more than 10 years of inhouse and consultancy PR roles in London, determined to focus on what she loves best: property, construction and the built environment. From day one, she is working with major brands including National Grid, the Countryside Agency and technology innovators, Asite.
