The founding partners were Andrew Wilson, a former MSP and previously the head of group communications at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Malcolm Robertson, former BAA communications director. The founders had been identified as the top faces to look out for in 2014, and the formation of the consultancy described as “the biggest PR launch in Scotland for some time”. Chris Deerin, former political editor of the Daily Record and head of comment for The Daily Telegraph; and Sharon Nimmo, formerly a business journalist with Scotland on Sunday were also partners but have since left. Kevin Pringle joined as a partner in 2015, having previously been the strategic communications director for the SNP. In December 2015, the firm announced that Jo Nove, would become an associate partner. Five months later Nove was made a partner and was given responsibility for healthcare.
The consultancy is chaired by Sir Angus Grossart, a veteran of merchant banking and media. Directors of the consultancy include: Roland Rudd, founder and chairman of RLM Finsbury; James Murgatroyd, Managing Partner of RLM Finsbury; and Johnny Hornby, CEO of The & Partnership.
In January 2015, the firm announced they had hired David Gaffney from RBS as an associate partner in its Edinburgh office. A further associate partner joined, Robert Ballantyne, who had formerly been deputy chairman at financial PR agency Cardew Group.
Their client list includes FirstGroup, the British transport company.
