Welcome to

An executive search AND advisory firm that is exclusively focused on the corporate affairs and communications function and the specialist disciplines that sit within it.

Irrespective of the project or mandate, we help organisations strengthen, professionalise and modernise their capability across reputation management, external communications, internal communications and employee engagement, government relations, sustainability and insight, strategy and measurement.

Our Purpose

Leadership

To ensure that the function has the leadership and capability it needs to maximise its strategic, operational and commercial impact

Impact and value creation

To promote a better understanding of the role of the corporate affairs and communications function in creating value and enabling organisational success.

“The Corporate Affairs and Communications function is constantly evolving, as it must stay ahead of a rapidly changing stakeholder and policy landscape. This keeps us on our toes every day and requires us to stay on top of those trends.”

  • The Inside Track

    The Inside Track is a peer-to-peer discussion forum and think tank for corporate affairs, communications and sustainability leaders in which members are brought together with their counterparts in other organisations. It is a unique opportunity to discuss the issues of the day as well as bigger picture topics relating to the leadership and professional development of the function and its role as a strategic business discipline.

  • Executive search

    We conduct searches for large UK organisations and global multi-nationals as well as smaller and rapidly growing start-ups.

    We recognise that there is no universal blueprint for the role and that different organisations need different things.

  • Consulting

    We are a knowledge and relationship-based business, with a huge amount of intelligence about how corporate affairs and communications is practised, what strong leadership of these functions looks like and how this should contribute to the reputation and commercial success of an organisation. This has organically led to the development of a broader consulting and advisory offer.

  • Research & Insight

    Much of our time is spent probing, researching and listening to the corporate affairs and communications world in which we operate. The result is a series of research reports which shed light on important issues and practices within the disciplines into which we recruit.
