About Us.

After starting business life with an elite firm of global accountants, I moved into the much more interesting world of integrated marketing services, where I learned my trade in the PR business, first at Valin Pollen and latterly as CEO of Shandwick Consultants (now Webber Shandwick), the financial, corporate and lobbying PR firm that was one of the largest and most profitable firms in the global Shandwick empire, and was where I won my PRCA Sword of Excellence.

During my stewardship of Shandwick Consultants, we roughly doubled our income and increased profits about fourfold, making us the biggest business of our type in Europe.

I left, with a number of stellar colleagues, to set up a new firm from scratch – Hogarth Partnership – and after about a dozen years of unbroken growth, sold it to the Engine Group, where I became Chairman of Engine Business (renamed MHP).

Now I advise FTSE-100 firms on Board communications issues, and PR firms (and related marcomms businesses) on growth, management and sale.

Sarah has held senior positions – COO, CMO – of large, regulated businesses, and also advises SME’s and marcomms firms on business matters.

Sarah is very familiar with the challenges of working with independently-minded, highly-qualified professionals, in a commercial environment.

Sarah’s skill encompass staff training, HR advice, bookkeeping and operational advice and support.
