About Us

London Press Service offers news and images from the UK for free use by the media anywhere in the world. More

Today's team of journalists, researchers and photographers works online. The news service looks into all aspects of British business and delivers the most important stories and images to a global audience.

The London Press Service, or LPS as it is widely known, is a unique operation. It provides a high class news agency service that is free: both to the end users in the world's media and to any company or organisation mentioned in a story.

This is because LPS is funded by UK Trade & Investment, a government department that supports business. However, the day to day operation is in the hands of a team of highly experienced professional journalists. This ensures objectivity, quality and focus on real news that the world's media appreciates.

LPS goes to all sources of breaking news - and talks to the innovators - in the university campus, in the research &development and design departments and on the production line.

In healthcare, for example, we report from the biopharma labs, the hospitals and the medicals schools. Who is finding better cures, developing new drugs or improving training methods?

We report on the latest technology and most advanced engineering. We take our cameras on the road and into the workplace. How are major international manufacturers coping and changing? How are new entrepreneurs establishing themselves in the marketplace?

From the very smallest projects, perhaps involving one innovative idea to help protect the environment, to the very largest, where UK industry might be in partnership with other international players, such as Aerospace, we will report on what really matters.

In every industry sector - and in every region of the UK, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - LPS reports the news and finds the high impact images that help to keep British business, and business opportunities in the UK, in the minds of the world's media and in the lead in today's global economy.
