BIG Partnership has recruited Fraser Paterson as its new Head of Public Affairs.
Paterson began his career as a parliamentary assistant to Labour’s Anne McTaggart before setting up and running his own consultancy for six years.
He’s also previously managed PR and public affairs at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow
“Fraser brings an exceptional understanding of the Labour party and its policies and his arrival represents another significant investment in our business’s future,” said BIG’s Chief Executive Allan Barr.
“We’ve inevitably seen a major increase in businesses looking to understand what the new political environment might mean. Fraser is ideally suited to advise clients who are creating the jobs and providing the investment that our economy is crying out for. In a time of significant change, it’s vital we have the right team and Fraser is an excellent addition to our existing talent.”
His arrival takes the agency’s public affairs team to 4.
“The opportunity to join the country’s largest communications agency does not come along very often,” Paterson added.
“BIG already has a well-established public affairs practice and has laid out an ambitious strategy for growth. Many of BIG’s clients are directly involved in addressing some of the most important economic and environmental challenges faced by our country. I’m excited to contribute my skills and experience in putting forward the positive agendas they have for policy-making and investment.”
