- Mar 2011 - PresentPartner / Pagefield CommunicationsPagefield is a communications consultancy specialising in PR, public and regulatory affairs and integrated corporate campaigns.
- Sept 2006 - Mar 2011Associate Director / Fishburn HedgesFishburn Hedges is an award winning communications agency based in Holborn, London. Apart from being regularly recognised as an outstanding workplace by the FT it is an amazing place to work. I worked on a fascinating and wide-ranging set of clients which is one bonus and with a bunch of people who are sharp, inventive and creative. The agency is not bound to one particular discipline which meant that I could develop skills in social media while honing my love of public affairs. This was the approach across the board - keeping fresh ideas flowing.
- Jun 2001 - Sept 2006Director / Connect Public AffairsI started life as a PA consultant back in June 2001 and by the time I left Connect I was a Director of the company. Gill Morris and the whole team there gave me an amazing grounding in political communications and campaigning. During my time there I was responsible for developing new business strategies as a director and successfully grew the business. I also provided consultancy for loads of interesting clients including a financial regulator, a major bank and audit firm. I loved, and still love, writing articles for publication on behalf of clients, and had my own regular page in the Health Investor magazine. I also became a regular at perception audits and benchmarking exercises for clients I was lucky enough to work with a huge, varied range of Parliamentarians and clients on a number of influential campaigns, including the Children’s Food Bill, foundation hospitals, primary care issues and on long term care for the elderly. Notable successes include winning the CIPR Public Affairs Award as part of the team which amended the Adoption and Children Act to allow unmarried couples to adopt.
- May 2000 - Jun 2001Business Development Manager / election.comThe dotcom boom tempted me over to election.com from ERS. This was a US start up designed to challenge the dominance of the Electoral Reform Society as official independent scrutineer for trade union and other elections. The model was elections online, which enabled me to develop a depth of understanding about planning for online campaigning and activity from early in the industry's lifecycle. election.com was subsumed into Accenture.
- May 1998 - May 2000Ballot Adviser / Electoral Reform ServicesI learnt the art of consultancy here advising a huge number of clients about their elections. The high point was helping to run the election to remove 92 hereditary peers from the House of Lords in 1998.

Better. Now to get out from under.
Even slow, even small is good. Pick the direction and head out.
