More on the Lewis expansion plans...

This has just winged its way into our inbox in response to our post about Lewis earlier today...it's from someone who knows plenty about building a global PR business:

"Doubling the number of offices will not be easy and should cost a lot more than his estimated $2m. At $2m that means each office would only cost $100k. Can’t see him building much of a presence at that price. Whether he can actually grow this fast will largely come down to how good his regional infrastructure is. If he has good people in the three regions they can each add a few offices. Six or seven per region will be very tough though. And it will mean Lewis making a loss as it will be hard to start so many offices and not lose money in most of them. My guess is that this pronouncement is a sign he’s bulking up for the big sell off…"

Could this be true..? Are we soon to see a big For Sale sign erected outside Millbank Tower..? Watch this space...
