In March 1986, a young PR consultant decided to take the bold move to leave the agency she had worked for five years to start her own consultancy.

That person was Susan Fleet, the MD of Lea Graham Associates. Yes, it was a bold move but one she would not have missed for the world.

Today, Lea Graham celebrates its 30th anniversary with a special party. Clients, associates, media friends and contacts will be toasting the future success of Lea Graham as the agency enters a new chapter.

For anyone in business, the challenge is always keeping the service and offering fresh

Associate PR Director Sue Scott came up with an inventive idea – giving the agency a new focus as it enters its fourth decade. A selection of professional associates are joining the team to offer a wider range of services and greater depth of expertise than is currently offered by LGA.

Our new associates include: Trevor Butler, an experienced broadcast media trainer; Katherine Elton, copywriter; Jim Holden, photographer; Paul Noble, videographer; Tatjana Keenan, event management and catering; John Sleight, graphic design; James Mellor, illustrations; Debbie and Darren Greenfield, corporate team building, Beverley Varley, bid writing and Preview, website design.

Lea Graham’s entertainment agency will also be well represented at our special celebration. The Lea Graham Quartet is performing alongside some of the agency’s top artists in a showcase to get the party started in style.

Tatjana Keenan, not only an outstanding event co-ordinator, but also a great cook, is providing classy canapés and Mia Taggart, an extraordinarily talented baker is putting the icing on the cake, with one of her stunning creations. This will be washed down with Ridgeview’s award-winning Bloomsbury sparkling wine – as served at Number 10 and state banquets at Buckingham Palace.

Cheers!
