WiBA is delighted to welcome you to our annual Women of Distinction Lunch at the Lost & Found, Birmingham with guest speaker, Lis Lewis Jones, CEO of Liquid. We regularly celebrate the achievements of women of distinction at the top of their career and hear their personal reflections of career success to inspire us, whatever our stage of our working life.
Lis’s distinguished career started in PR in the corporate world before founding Liquid in a room above her mum’s garage in 2004 when she had a toddler, a 5-month-old baby and no clients. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, Liquid is an integrated communications agency working across 25 jurisdictions, 19 time zones and is Birmingham headquartered with an office in Brisbane, Australia. It was named ‘Best Agency Outside of London’ by PR week 2021, Best Global consultancy of the year in the PRCA platinum awards 2022 and Midlands Marketing Agency of the year in 2023.
Throughout her career, Lis has helped shape the UK’s communications’ landscape as president of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) in 2008, chair of the PRCA Council 2011-12 and on PRCA’s board of management for 10 years from 2013.
Lis is chair of Governors for Bloxham School in Oxfordshire, Council and Transatlantic member of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce and for 2024/25, a Midlands Export champion for the Department of Business & Trade. She was awarded Freedom of the City of London in October 2023 and received fellowship of the PRCA for her contribution to the global PR industry in July 2024.
Our lunch will be in the private dining area of the Boardroom at the Lost & Found, Birmingham and includes a delicious 2 course lunch (vegetarian/vegan options available) and a drink including non-alcoholic options.
We hope you can join us with colleagues, clients, friends or on your own for what should be an informative, inspiring and relaxing lunch in one of Birmingham’s best loved restaurants.
