Fleishman-Hillard scoops Lloyds Banking Group's EU public affairs contract
LONDON/BRUSSELS: Fleishman-Hillard (F-H) Brussels has been appointed by Lloyds Banking Group for public affairs advice.
F-H’s account team is being led from Brussels by Nickolas Reinhardt, who is the agency’s chair of international financial and regulatory affairs. The account is on an ‘ongoing retainer’ basis.
Public Affairs News can reveal the appointment a month after the news that Lloyds – which is 40.5 per cent owned by the UK government – had hired College Public Policy to replace Citigate Dewe Rogerson Public Policy as its group PA agency in London (PAN, July).
Lloyds Banking Group came into being 19 months ago after the takeover of HBOS by Lloyds TSB.
*** F-H last month strengthened its digital communications capability in Brussels with the appointment of Steffen Thejll-Moller. The Danish-Italian national was previously working for ZN, a digital agency.
