Tom Robertshaw, left, and Ian Langlois, formerly directors of Wallace Barnaby, have joined with two other former staff to set up new agency LRCD.

A TEAM of former Wallace Barnaby Group PR and advertising staff has formed a new company.

Advertising and public relations agency LRCD is currently based at Dell Nursery, Le Foulon, having been set up by people who were made redundant last week.

Directors Ian Langlois, Tom Robertshaw, Andrew Carey and Jim Delbridge have all put money into the venture, hence the name LRCD.

With these four are a staff of five advertising and PR professionals.

‘Ian and I had tried to buy Wallace Barnaby some weeks ago and our then owners appeared keen at that time,’ said Mr Robertshaw. ‘Obviously it was disappointing that that did not happen and all the more shocking when we discovered that they wished to put the group into liquidation.

‘All that, though, is in the past and we are all very excited about the future.’
