Staffed by former advisers for the main political parties, journalists, media experts, civil servants, policy advisers and experienced public affairs practitioners, Edelman Public Affairs has a strong team of 17 consultants with extensive experience of advising companies and other organisations on their relationships with public affairs audiences.

A rapidly expanding team, we have clients from the pharmaceutical sector, food manufacturers, science research councils, technology providers, patient advocacy groups and professional regulators, and have a considerable track record in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Brussels.

Our expertise has been developed by harnessing the skills and experience of our consultants.
