About Lintel PR

Our Story
Lintel PR was founded to bring clarity, integrity, and understanding to communications in a time of change.
As Scotland leads the way in renewable energy and place-based investment, we recognised an opportunity to offer grounded, strategic support to organisations working with communities, land, and policy. We believe that good communication isn’t spin — it’s substance, shaped by values, and rooted in understanding.
Lintel PR is here to help you navigate complexity and build trust where it matters.
Meet Cris Thacker
Hi, I am the founder of Lintel PR and a communications strategist with over 30 years’ experience spanning renewables, community development, and policy engagement. Based in East Lothian, I have worked across Scotland aiding organisations in communicating with purpose and integrity — from major infrastructure projects to grassroots partnerships.
I have the ability to connect the dots and think creatively. With my background in community development, renewable energy, and political engagement, I possess a keen sense of connection, compassion, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. I have a deep respect for local context, and a commitment to achieving results effectively. My philosophy is simple: I listen first, speak clearly, and act with care.
Our Values
Clarity
We believe in clear communication and concise messaging. Clarity builds trust, cuts through noise, and helps audiences understand not just what you do but why it matters.
Integrity
We work with honesty, respect, and accountability. Whether we’re advising clients, engaging communities, or influencing policy, we uphold high standards and stand by our word.
Understanding
We bring sharp thinking and informed insight to every project. Our work is rooted in research, shaped by experience, and responsive to the world around us.
Why Lintel?
A lintel is a quiet enabler – a structural support that makes open doors and clear views possible. Though often unseen, it holds everything in place. Traditionally made from stone or timber, a lintel spans thresholds with strength and purpose.
We chose the name Lintel because great PR does the same: it supports, connects, and creates space for genuine engagement.
At Lintel PR, we help our clients step into new conversations with confidence – guided by strategies rooted in trust, clarity, and a strong understanding of place.
