PB Political Consulting
The 2010 General Election resulted in much more than a change of government. It delivered a generational change of politicians and policy makers, with the largest number of new MPs taking their seats since 1945. As well as a new Government taking a fresh approach to the development of public policy, there is now a new set of parliamentarians with new attitudes to influencing policy.
PB Political Consulting was created in 2010 to provide a specialist Public Affairs and consultancy service for clients who want to engage with the opportunities these changes offer. Unlike traditional consultancies, we know and understand the new parliamentary intake - the leaders of tomorrow.

Our services
Public Affairs Programmes
Our innovative and results-oriented public affairs programmes are drawn up according to each clients' individual needs. In a busy political market place our job is to ensure your messages are heard by the right audiences to deliver positive outcomes.
Standard off the shelf programmes are simply not good enough. Whatever your issue, whatever your requirements, we will design a programme to suit you - combining the ethos of your business with our experience.
Parliamentary Awareness & Reputation Management
Whether you need to raise awareness of a particular issue or cause, or protect and develop your corporate reputation, visibility amongst policy makers and politicians is vital. PB Political Consulting builds corporate and issue awareness for our clients at Westminster, across Whitehall, in the devolved assemblies and in town halls across the country. We can help you too.
NHS Market Access
We help clients with NHS market access strategies both through work at Westminster and Whitehall, and locally at Trust level. Our long-standing experience of NHS, and wider medical public affairs issues means we understand how the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) operate, how they make their decisions and how manufacturers, patient organisations and professionals can engage with the process and feed into recommendations.
Market access communications programmes may also involve challenging the Department of Health to develop, amend or emphasise existing strategies to deal with particular conditions and ensure optimum patient outcomes. Moreover, as policy makers grow to trust local considerations over centrally driven initiatives, we help clients grow and enter markets locally. Local funding policies and low awareness of the benefits of a particular technology can be local barriers to innovation and uptake.
Contact programmes and coalition building
It is crucial you meet and engage with those parliamentarians and stakeholders who are interested in your concerns and who are able to influence decisions. Our contact-building programmes allow you to identify, meet and build strong, lasting relationships with these people.
We always recommend that you develop personal relationships with your stakeholders. But you can rely on PB Political Consulting to be with you every step of the way, ensuring a successful approach, equipping you with the right tools and knowledge to make your case, and helping you build a network of stakeholders and groups who share your goals.
Political event management - with policy makers and politicians
Parliamentary events, briefings, and receptions are an essential part of doing business with a political audience. If you work with us, we will create, project manage and deliver every aspect of your political events, from venue sourcing, to guest list, speakers, catering, logistics and on the day event management. Whether as part of a wider political engagement programme/reputation building exercise or just as a stand-alone, events of this type will help you reach a wider audience, establishing your business as an important voice in the political debate.
Policy monitoring and intelligence gathering
PB Political Consulting offers political monitoring services to keep you up to date with the latest political developments. If you wish to influence or shape policy, you need to know what others are saying. In the UK we focus on the work of both Houses of Parliament as well as the wider world of Whitehall, providing targeted information from relevant Government departments; and we cover all aspects of activity ranging from consultations and committee discussions to new initiatives in the pipeline. We also offer detailed analysis of the latest policy announcements and Parliamentary briefings, receptions, meetings and policy seminars.
Local grass-root campaigns and liaison
Public sector bodies and local councils are influenced by local politicians, the media, patient groups and charities. PB Political Consulting helps clients both engage with these bodies and with stakeholders who influence commissioning and policy decisions. We also help obtain positive publicity through engaging local political champions and the media.
Political market research
Understanding the attitudes and opinions of politicians and other stakeholders towards an organisation or a particular issue is an important tool when making commercial decisions. We have considerable experience in market research in both clinical and political consultancy.
