Great client coverage secured in The Times

Posted by Dave Toyn
February 4th, 2011

The Unsworth Sugden PR team has secured excellent back-to-back coverage for clients in consecutive issues of The Times property supplement ‘Bricks & Mortar’.

Last Friday (28th Jan) saw very strong coverage for the launch of client David Wilson East Midlands’ new “dash five” range of family homes which combine traditional period styles and modern technologies. The team arranged for a Times journalist to visit the client’s development at Papplewick Green, just north of Nottingham, where she was given a guided tour and interviewed a happy buyer, sales director Philip Lacey and managing director John Reddington.

Then today’s ‘Bricks & Mortar’ supplement features excellent coverage of the journalist’s visit to client Barratt Mercia’s extensive regeneration project in Camp Hill, Nuneaton, which aims to create 813 new homes over the next 12 years. The piece features extensive quotes from Andrew Dauncey, project manager at Barratt, and local resident Ann Corbett. You can learn more about the development, named Bluebell by visiting www.bluebellnuneaton.co.uk - a website created and designed by our web division, US Digital.

Well done to Bethan, Tom and in particular Hannah for all their hard work with this!!

On Friday 3rd September, client Barratt East Midlands welcomed the Lord Mayor of Leicester, Councillor Colin Hall to the unveiling of a brand new collection of homes at its Freemens Meadow development. As the guest of honour, the Lord Mayor officially marked the VIP launch with a ribbon cutting ceremony which was followed by a champagne breakfast.

The launch was not only a special event to introduce Leicester to a stunning range of new houses, collectively called ‘Aspirations’, but an ideal opportunity for Leicester VIPs to mingle and network whilst enjoying the canapes and the music of a string quartet.
