Freshfield boosts PR team with experienced hire

Freshfield has bolstered its PR and Communications division with the appointment of Laura Graham as senior PR & communications executive.

Laura joins from the marketing department of legal giants Irwin Mitchell, where she was responsible for co-ordinating client events as well as overseeing PR and social media support, and the production of marketing collateral.

Laura, who is originally from Lancaster, will advise a portfolio of Freshfield’s clients in the property and professional services sectors.

Laura said: “Freshfield is an agency I’ve been aware of for a while and I’m delighted to have secured a place on the team. It was clear from the outset the firm has a deep commitment to helping clients as well as looking after its people which was of great appeal to me.

Simon Turner, managing director of Freshfield, said: “Laura brings to Freshfield a range of marketing skill sets, specific sector knowledge and experience of being part of a leading UK marketing team, making her a great find.

“She is also a real people person making her a natural for a business like ours built on key relationships.”
