Bellenden is delighted to announce that we have forged a strong working partnership with Cardiff based public affairs consultancy BayMor Solutions. As devolution in Wales enters its second decade and exclusively Welsh legislation becomes more prevalent, Bellenden recognises the added value to our clients that engagement with the devolved assembly can have.
Bellenden would also like to congratulate BayMor Solutions on their appointment to spearhead the general public affairs programme in Wales for Willmott Dixon Construction, one of the UK’s largest privately owned construction companies.
BayMor MD Jan Soloman said: “This is a major account win for us and reflects the on track growth of our consultancy.”
Bellenden is delighted to announce the recruitment of Nikki da Costa who has joined the agency from her role as Head of UK Government Relations at Serco in order to head up our public affairs division.
Nikki was previously Head of UK Government Relations for FTSE 100 public services company Serco, special adviser to senior members of the Conservative Shadow Cabinet, and earlier in her career was recognised as a finalist for Public Affairs News as ‘UK Newcomer of the Year’ and PR Week’s ‘Young Professional of the Year’.
Bellenden is delighted to announce its success in securing a number of new clients at the beginning of 2010. These clients include: the Electrical Safety Council, the Association for Science Education, East 7, the Manufacturing Technologies Association, Sage, White Design and the Enforcement Regulatory Group.
In addition Bellenden has won new work with Vestas, Lantra, BWEA, Devon County Council and UK Youth as well as retaining all existing clients.
As you can see we have created a new website, we would welcome any comments on its design and content via .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). We have also changed the domain name from bellendenpublicaffairs.co.uk to bellenden.co.uk and all emails will change in a similar vein (existing email addresses will forward to our new details).
In addition, Bellenden will now be split into three different divisions Bellenden Public Affairs (headed by Nikki da Costa), Bellenden Public Relations (headed by Charlotte Barraclough) and Bellenden Planning Communications (headed by Phil Briscoe). Mark Glover and Greg Rosen will continue to provide support across the three divisions. We hope these new divisions will allow us to improve our service to our clients over the next few years.
