Unsworth Sugden Group

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!!
