Weber Shandwick Worldwide's former UK financial PR chief executive
Charles Lankester has launched a risk and crisis management
consultancy.
Lankester, who quit WSW in July after eight years following a divisional
shake-up, has set up Limehouse Partners to provide firms with strategic
counsel on crisis comms and security issues.
The London-based consultancy is initially staffed by an advisory team of
six and six freelance consultants.
But Lankester said he has plans to recruit up to eight full-time staff
in the next 12 months, with aims to establish a presence in the US and
Asia within the same period.
Limehouse will service firms in sectors including transportation,
energy, chemicals and finance areas such as asset management and
banking.
