The leading political lobbying and PR agency PLMR have announced the opening of their first satellite office in Edinburgh. The announcement comes days before the Scottish independence referendum.
The agency, ranked as one of the top 100 PR agencies in the UK by PR Week, is making the move “to ensure it makes the most of the increased legislative powers the Scottish Government will receive, regardless of the referendum result”.
The office, which will open on Monday 13th October, will be headed up by Lynn McMath (pictured above). McMath is currently Press Advisor for the Scottish Shadow Cabinet and brings with her a wealth of experience working for and with the Scottish Parliament. She has also managed the communications surrounding the Edinburgh tram project.
Kevin Craig, Managing Director of PLMR said: “PLMR has worked across Scotland for years and it was a logical step to formalise this by launching PLMR Scotland. We are absolutely delighted - it shows just how far we have come since the company was founded in 2006.
“Whether it is ‘devo-max’ or full independence, the Scottish Government will be given a considerable amount more power after the referendum. In order to continue providing our clients with the best possible service, it is absolutely essential that we have a presence in Edinburgh.”
Lynn McMath, Senior Manager of PLMR Scotland said: “I can’t wait to get started in October. PLMR is one of the most exciting and fastest growing agencies in the UK and I look forward to helping the company continue on that trajectory.
“This is an incredibly exciting time for Scottish politics and public affairs. PLMR Scotland will be here on the ground and ready to make the most of it.”
