Three days on and the media interest has kept on building for our client, Westleigh Developments. The PR team’s Dave Toyn lept into action yesterday afternoon when BBC East Midlands contacted us, eager to cover the Belgrave housing scheme story.

The Westleigh news feature aired this morning on BBC East Midlands breakfast show. You can take a look for yourselves by clicking the following link: bbc-tv1-east-midlands-300710-0628

The PR team is delighted that Hannah B appeared on BBC Radio Leicester during this morning’s breakfast show… have a listen here -BBC Radio Leicester 7.54am Tues 8th June.

A pair of life sized model cows having been looking for a new home as client, David Wilson Mercia’s new homes development in Banbury draws near to completion. 

The project, which is named Moo-ve, is being built on the town’s former cattle market.  The pair of cows were named Daisy and Grace by a local primary school and have stood proud outside the development’s marketing suite.

Now they are on the hunt for a new owner and their appeal was picked up by BBC South.  You can watch it here. BBC South 16.03.10

Anyone watching BBC Breakfast whilst tucking into their cereal last Wednesday morning may have spotted a feature on client Ad Hoc.

If you missed it, then not to worry as you can view it HERE.

This excellent coverage came as a result of a recent piece about property guardians in The Observer, which was secured by the Unsworth Sugden PR team.

To find out more information about property guardians, including how to apply for accommodation, please visit www.adhoc.eu.

Eight students from Countesthorpe College visited Westframe, the Enderby-based timber frame manufacturing division of client Westleigh Developments, on Wednesday as part of a project which is seeing the developer build (and part fund) a brand new vocational centre at the college.

BBC Radio Leicester was able to feature the visit in its afternoon news bulletins - click here to take a listen.

Last night the BBC’s The One Show broadcast a feature about David Wilson East Midlands The Lanterns development in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire where a supposed medieval tomb was buried. Forming part of an ornate 100 year old water feature, the stone artefact was brought to David Wilson’s attention by Barwell resident and former gardener Reg Colver. Thinking it could be the lost coffin of King Richard III, which is recorded to have been used as a container for water, Reg then approached the Battle of Bosworth Heritage Centre and the rest as they say is history!

After learning about the find, the Unsworth Sugden PR team got in touch with The One Show and managed to organise a visit with Dan Snow… and we’re now on the case to support David Wilson East Midlands in their bid to arrange visits from local children who will be able to see this exciting artefact for themselves before it is donated to the Heritage Centre next year.

Watch this space for more news and updates on this facinating project!
