SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - September 24, 2009) - LEWIS
PR announced this week its financial results for the year ending July
2009. Revenue grew 11% worldwide and the agency continued to expand its
international office network with the launch of LEWIS Tokyo and Lisbon.
The agency has also announced the promotion of Financial Controller James
Oehlcke to Group Finance Director. Oehlcke trained at Arthur Andersen and joined Channel Four on qualification. He
joined LEWIS from The Economist, where he held senior roles at the flagship
publication.
In addition, Oehlcke will be supported by the appointment of Greg Tulett as
Strategic Finance Director.
Deloitte-trained, Tulett has five years' experience in operational
finance within the LEWIS Group of companies. In his new role he will focus
on acquisitions and strategic projects.
"This is a significant stage in the agency's history, as we plan for the
next phase of growth," said CEO Chris Lewis. "With no debt and substantial
cash reserves, the Group is emerging from the recession in a strong
position. I'm delighted to have such an experienced finance team supporting
us."
"The company has 23 legal entities and operates in 38 offices
throughout the world," said Oehlcke. "This is a challenging accounting
task, especially in a growing business. My mandate is to look for strategic
acquisitions and I couldn't wish for a more experienced or talented player
than Greg Tulett to work with."
