Our Story, Vision,
Ethos and Values

Our Founder

LSPR is the brainchild of our founder John Dalton. Back in 1992, John was at the start of his first career in publishing and keen on expanding into PR. He was looking to professionally develop his skill set within PR and brand management, but unable to find an efficient short course that suited his needs. This led him to identify a gap in the market. That gap led to the inception of LSPR.

Vision

His vision resolved around the goal of providing businesses and newcomers to the industry with insights into how building a reputation could help offer brands a competitive edge. He recognised the increasing importance of social influence, and the role of experiences in helping brands stand out.

Ethos

The ideas from those initial days continue to be central to our values. The concept that reputation is at the heart of PR remains the essence of our training and consultancy.

This approach to PR resonated with clients globally, leading to rapid growth and expansion for LSPR and a high demand for our short courses. We act independently and are not held back from developing and being creative in how we support, share, and enhance knowledge and skills.

Since then we have developed our range of courses over 6 main categories: PR & Communications, Risk and Crisis Communications, Media & Press Relations, Writing & Editing, Management & Leadership and Digital Media
