[edit] History
Lexis was established as an independent PR agency by founders Bill Jones and Tim Adams, in London in 1992.
Their first major client was Superdrug. Hugh Birley joined as managing director two years later, and went on to successfully lead a management buy-out in 2002. Bill and Tim left Lexis later that year and Hugh became CEO.
In August 2005, international communications group Next Fifteen Communications acquired a 25% stake in Lexis and went on to acquire a further 51% stake in 2006. In Summer 2006, Lexis launched its youth agency SiX PR. In August 2007, Lexis’ first graduate recruit Margot Raggett became CEO of Lexis, with Hugh Birley taking the role of chairman.
