Welcome to Weber Shandwick Leeds

"Weber Shandwick is the only international PR agency in Leeds and we are in the unique position of being able to offer a local PR service which comes with the backing of a strong, cross-continental network.

"We see Leeds as a logical place to develop the business, and as one of the UK's fastest growing cities, we're in for an exciting time.

"There is a real energy and buzz in the city, and opening our offices in the Wellington Street area has been great -it won't be long until this area is seen as the new five star business district.

"It’s an exciting time for Leeds and the wider Yorkshire and Humberside area, and we are looking forward to speaking to you more about our plans for PR in one of the UK’s fastest growing cities."

Official Launch Party

Weber Shandwick Leeds has now officially launched in the city, and to mark the event, the agency held a drinks reception at The Chambers on York Place attended by Weber Shandwick CEO, Colin Byrne, who gave guests a brief overview of the capabilities and level of service that a major global agency could deliver to the region’s businesses, as well as the firm’s ambitions for its newest office.

Byrne said: “Leeds is a successful, vibrant commercial centre and we feel that the time is right to launch the Weber Shandwick offering – one that understands the strategic requirements of the region’s businesses but also matches them for excellence and ambition.

"In Leeds, we’ve recruited in some of the best talent in the business to give the agency the best possible start. Despite the global economic downturn, the region’s economy is still strong and I firmly believe that the office has huge potential for growth, and could quickly beat its own ambitious growth targets.”
