Commercial law firm Walker Morris has appointed Leeds communications agency Aberfield to help raise its profile across the built environment sector as it pursues ambitions to become a £100m-plus business.
The independent firm has enlisted Aberfield Communications to support its Build market group, which spans real estate, construction, logistics, energy and infrastructure, with a brief covering strategic PR, media relations and thought leadership.
Aberfield will work alongside Walker Morris’ in-house marketing team to promote the firm’s expertise across its Planning & Environment, Construction & Engineering, Real Estate and Real Estate Litigation teams, with a focus on increasing its presence in trade and national media.
The win further strengthens Aberfield’s credentials in the built environment sector, where its client roster includes Homes England, Muse and Moda Living. The agency has also supported Walker Morris at UKREiiF, securing an Estates Gazette podcast focused on the delivery of new towns.
Lucy Chaplin, Corporate Communications Lead at Walker Morris, said: “We were looking for an agency with a strong understanding of the built environment and the ability to position our expertise in a competitive market. Aberfield stood out for their strong track record in the sector, strategic approach and well-established media relationships.
“We’re looking forward to working with them to build our profile and reputation across our core practice areas, supporting our wider commercial ambition to become a £100m+ business.”
Ian Briggs, Director at Aberfield Communications, said: “We’re pleased to have been appointed by Walker Morris and to be working closely with its marketing team. The firm has a strong and distinctive proposition within the real estate and construction sector and is exceptionally well placed to advise clients as the market continues to evolve.
“Our role is to bring that expertise and insight to life through high-quality communications that build visibility, strengthen reputation and reach the audiences that matter most.”
