LEHR Media Pitch
Pitch 1: Local Seattle/Pacific Northwest Media
STORY: Local emergency vehicle company Systems for Public Safety joins national leader LEHR
Hi [Reporter Name]!
Wanted to get a Seattle business story on your radar. Systems for Public Safety, a South Sound company that’s been outfitting police cars and emergency vehicles for nearly 25 years, just got acquired.
The company started in 2001 as a one-man operation and grew to four facilities with 25+ employees across Washington. They’ve now been acquired by LEHR, a national emergency vehicle upfitting platform backed by private equity firm Broadwing Capital. This is LEHR’s seventh acquisition as they’ve grown to 30+ locations nationwide in just three years.
What matters locally is that Paul Deskins is staying on as President, all four facilities will remain open, and all employees will keep their jobs. The acquisition brings national resources to serve the Pacific Northwest at a time when vehicle requirements are becoming increasingly complex.
I’d be happy to provide additional information or arrange a brief conversation with the LEHR team if you’re interested in covering this story.
Thank you for considering!
Pitch 2: Trade/Industry Publications
STORY: LEHR expands to Seattle with Systems for Public Safety acquisition, seventh deal in three years
Hi [Reporter Name]!
Wanted to flag a story for your coverage of the [Insert Trade/Industry here] space. LEHR just announced its seventh acquisition, Systems for Public Safety, and it’s a clear signal of where this industry is heading.
LEHR has grown from 6 to 30+ locations nationwide in just three years through strategic acquisitions. The Systems for Public Safety acquisition marks their entry into the Pacific Northwest.
Public safety agencies are actually increasingly seeking full-service national partners who can navigate complex specifications and manage extended lead times (often 12-18 months now). As vehicle technology gets more sophisticated, agencies need partners with serious technical capabilities and national reach.
I’d be happy to provide additional information or arrange a brief conversation with the LEHR team if you’re interested in covering this story.
Thank you for considering!
