CORPORATE communications firm Lanyon Group has opened a new Belfast city centre office, paving the way for the future growth and expansion of the business.

The company, which employs eight staff, has moved to new Grade A premises on the first floor of the Grand Central Hotel on Bedford Street as it plans for a "new wave of growth", according to founder and partner, Katie Doran.

“Having been trading for almost five years now, we have entered a period of significant growth and are investing across all areas of our business,” she said.

“From the outset, we set about being the best reputation advisors, always exceeding client expectations and setting new standards. Through the work we have delivered for our clients including KPMG, A&L Goodbody, CBRE, Belfast City Council, STATSports and many others, we have achieved that goal and are now planning for a new wave of growth."

In recent months the firm has developed a new creative division, which has allowed it expand its offering to include; web development, design and video production. Lanyon has also updated its brand, invested in the company website and is now working closely with Invest NI to explore opportunities to grow the business internationally, servicing clients from outside of Northern Ireland.

Founder and partner Jonathan Ireland added:

“With ambitious plans for further growth, our move to much larger premises at Grand Central will enable us to not only to further increase our headcount, but to continue expanding and diversifying our expertise and service offering to clients across the UK and Ireland and further afield.

“The new space will add value to our clients who can also use the city entre location when required, as well as providing a best-in-class working environment with lots of collaboration spaces for our expanding team. It’s an exciting phase in the Lanyon journey.”
