Public affairs, corporate reputation and brands
My name is Alex Challoner. For 30 years, I have developed a wide-ranging career in government relations, public affairs and corporate reputation. I also founded and grew Cavendish Communications, a leading public affairs and public relations agency, through which I have created a strong track record of delivery for many corporate leaders, and national and international clients.
I want to deliver for you and I know how to do so. I established Cavendish from scratch, secured its foundations, navigated the challenges, and developed it to become a top 150 public relations company delivering large scale, global projects. This experience has provided me with a well of knowledge to draw from. Much like Cavendish, I will use what I know to take pride in championing you and your goals.
How do I work?
In my three decades of experience, I have always considered myself a client person. Their success is my success, and much of this comes from my core belief that to anticipate challenges, and navigate their field, each client must stay one step ahead. Whether that is one step ahead of changes in government, new regulations or policies, or reputational issues, I have honed my skills around delivering positive results, taking a client from where they currently are, to where they need to be.
From 2010 to 2015, I championed and developed a client’s concept of ‘Market Towns’ to the Coalition Government. I nurtured ministerial attention in the idea, and fostered a relationship between my client and senior policy influencers and decision-makers at the highest levels of government. I am proud that these efforts resulted in both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats endorsing the proposal that I anticipate will be a prominent part of the new Labour Government’s agenda during this Parliament.
I am here to help you. Help you stay ahead of the curve, introduce you to those who have policy influence, and support you in charting your way through changing times.
