About the company

A leading UK corporate affairs and advisory business supporting ambitious public and private organisations across multiple sectors. Its services combine public relations, corporate affairs, government relations, policy expertise, creative capability and strategic financial advice.

The London-based technology practice works with significant international businesses and benefits from the resources, reach and specialist expertise of a broader corporate affairs group and global network.

You will also contribute to new business through networking, events, social activity and pitching, helping to drive the continued growth of the practice.
