Charlotte Street Partners is a strategic communications consultancy, based in Edinburgh and London. It launched in January 2014.[1] The consultancy provides advice to businesses, organisations and individuals.[2]
The Founding Partners were Andrew Wilson, the former MSP and deputy chief economist and head of group communications at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)[3] and Malcolm Robertson, former BAA communications director.[4] The founders were identified as some of the top faces to look out for in 2014,[3] and the formation of the consultancy was described as “the biggest PR launch in Scotland for some time”.[3]
Chris Deerin, the former political editor of the Daily Record and head of comment for The Daily Telegraph;[5] and Sharon Nimmo, formerly a business journalist with Scotland on Sunday,[4] 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.[6] In 2016 it was announced that Associate Partner, Jo Nove, would become a Partner and lead Charlotte Street’s healthcare team.
The consultancy is chaired by Sir Angus Grossart, a veteran of merchant banking and media.[7] Directors of the consultancy include: Roland Rudd, Founder and Chairman of RLM Finsbury; MT Rainey, Founder of advertising Agency, Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, James Murgatroyd, Managing Partner of Finsbury; and Johnny Hornby, CEO of The & Partnership.[8][9]
In January 2015, the firm announced they had hired David Gaffney from RBS as an Associate Partner in its Edinburgh office.[10] A further Associate Partner, Robert Ballantyne, who had formerly been deputy chairman at financial PR agency, Cardew Group, also joined in 2015.[11]
Their client list has included FirstGroup, the British transport company.[12]
