Wards Auto Painting and Bodyworks has hired Lesley Francis PR to conduct its marketing campaign.

Wards owner Robbie Ward, a Richmond Hill resident who was raised here, has seven locations throughout Georgia and Florida.

LFPR was established in Richmond Hill in 2009 by Lesley Francis, a British-born naturalized American citizen, who made her home in Richmond Hill seven years ago with her American husband. LFPR promotes area businesses and organizations.

Wards Auto Painting and Bodyworks has two collision centers within a few miles of Richmond Hill, at 15002 Abercorn St. in Savannah and 3643 E. Oglethorpe Highway in Flemington.

“We take pride in the work we do, and our commitment to our customers never waivers,” Ward said. “We continue to strive to be the best collision center shop in the region, as LFPR strives to be the best marketing services agency in the region. We are delighted to be working with Lesley Francis and her team.”
