Political advice when you need it most.
WHAT WE DO
SENIOR AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS COUNSEL
We have provided senior communications counsel to businesses facing major challenges – e.g. an airline forced to make large-scale redundancies, a global outsourcer updating its relations with governments, a famous retailer seeking better to understand and influence the impact of regulation on its business model.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT
We work closely with in-house teams to provide valuable external insight & ideas (as a "force-stretcher") – e.g. a leading utility company wanting to build political understanding of its priorities in a highly regulated sector, a major supplier of critical products to the NHS, a top financial services company.
BREXIT AND COVID-19 POLICY INSIGHT
We bring together experts in multiple fields (e.g. planning, finance, EU affairs, healthcare) and those who have worked closely with both Conservative and Labour leaders to provide detailed briefings on what is likely to happen next in the political dramas which have, more than any other factor, affected business planning and profitability in recent years – first Brexit, then the 2019 General Election, and more recently restrictions related to COVID-19. Those seeking our insights on these issues include the Board of a leading property development company, the leadership of a key trade body, and top figures in the City of London.
SELECT COMMITTEE AND MEDIA TRAINING
We have deep and long experience in providing training for appearances in front of Parliamentary Select Committees and the media. Our advice and training has helped energy chief executives, bank chairmen, newspaper editors, and multiple FTSE 100 leaders. Our approach is tough (repeatedly we are told that being grilled by us was harder than the actual questions from the Committees or journalists) but all the more effective for that.
