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 learn about up-to-date concepts on PR and unable to find a course that suited his needs, he identified a gap in the market. That gap led to the inception of LSPR.

Vision

His vision centered on the goal of providing businesses and individuals entering the industry with the know-how about how reputational capabilities would help brands gain a competitive advantage. He understood the growing importance of social influence, and experiences to help brands stand out.

Ethos

Those early days' ideas have remained at the core of our ethos. The concept that reputation is at the heart of PR remains the essence of our training and consultancy.

This approach to PR struck a chord with clients globally. Growth and expansion were rapid for LSPR. There was a high demand for our training programs. 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
