Lane will directly replace Brian Coleman-Smith, who is retiring from the communications industry at the end of March.
Lane joins from Abchurch Communications where, as a director, he was responsible for implementing financial public relations and investor relations programmes for both domestic and international clients.
Coleman-Smith's 40 year career in the City included stints at Burson-Marsteller and Beattie Financial, as well as serving as financial sales director of the Guardian Newspaper.
Simon Brocklebank-Fowler, founder and managing partner of Cubitt Consulting, said: ‘Brian has made a tremendous contribution to the financial PR industry over many decades, and latterly as a director in the award-winning growth company capability at Cubitt, which we know will continue to prosper under Chris Lane's leadership over the years ahead.'
