Property PR firm marks a decade in business with growth drive
Building Relations, specialist property PR firm, is celebrating 10 years in business by announcing ambitious growth plans.
To coincide with its 10th anniversary, property PR agency, Building Relations, has revealed its growth strategy for the next decade, which will seek to more than double its turnover.
Spearheaded by Founding Director, Rachel Colgan, and Managing Director, Kathryn Reucroft, the London-based firm wants to achieve a £5million-plus turnover by 2035, increase its headcount to over 40 employees and expand its existing network into other key regions.
The communications company, which was ranked in three of PR Week’s Top 150 Agencies last year and is working towards achieving B-corp status, will also continue to evolve its service offering, including the launch of The Studio, a separate entity which will provide graphic design, video and photography services.

Building Relations PR was set up in 2015 by Rachel Colgan after she left her position at Barratt Developments Plc (now Barratt Redrow), the UK’s largest national housebuilder, where she established its first PR team. Former colleague and friend, Kathryn Reucroft, joined in 2016 as Managing Director.
Reflecting on the standout moments from the last decade, Kathryn Reucroft says: “There have been countless highlights since I joined Building Relations PR, with a whole host of events from the opening of the Michelin star Roux at Skindles restaurant for Berkeley Homes to the launch of luxury penthouses with AMA in Edinburgh.
“We have had the privilege of launching new property companies into the UK, from several new proptech startups to the opening of Nest Seekers in London, the property brokerage behind the popular Netflix show Million Dollar Beach House.”
Rachel added: “In the last decade, the delivery of news has undergone a seismic shift, with digital platforms taking centre stage. Online news sources and social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat have become the go-to for many, offering real-time news and far more perspectives than traditional print media. This creates more opportunities but means that PR professionals have to be much quicker off the mark to secure column inches. It’s anyone’s guess where top tier results will be in ten years’ time, but we are prepared to adapt.”
