Listeners to Leicestershire’s local radio this afternoon couldn’t have failed to have heard about client, Bray and Bray’s call for the will writing industry to be regulated.  The Unsworth Sugden PR team was successful in securing coverage on both BBC Radio Leicester and Harborough FM today during all the afternoon news bulletins and most importantly during drivetime. 

The Market Harborough’s office wills and probate department head, Martin Hill was interviewed by Harbrough FM whilst the Leicester office’s specialist Beccy O’Malley gave a three and a half minute interview with drive time presenter Martin Ballard.
