Public Affairs

Ranelagh’s public affairs approach is to build parliamentary, political and wider support that cannot be ignored by policy-makers. We endeavour to present Government (local and national) and Parliament with a solution that fits over-arching political goals, and one which is workable and supported by those who will be implementing the policy.

UNRIVALLED

Public Affairs

Ranelagh Political Communications has extensive experience working across a broad range of policy areas. We understand how Government Departments operate, and the most effective ways of matching a client’s aims to a Department’s policy priorities. With in-depth knowledge of parliamentary procedure and practice we are fully cognisant of how Westminster, Whitehall and the Devolved Administrations all operate.

Our ideas

The foundation of any great public affairs campaign is strong political intelligence. In addition to our tailored briefings to our clients on the issues and developments important to them, we also share our insights on the big topics of the day.

Company History

Ranelagh was founded in 2005 by former MP Jonathan Sayeed, and more recently taken over by Anna Wolffe who has been working at the company since its inception.

Our Experience

We have wide experience of working in both Parliament and the public and private sectors. Having observed public affairs campaigns from both sides, we have practical experience of how ministers and parliamentarians are likely to react to a public affairs campaign.

Who we work with

Our clients are varied, from small charities to large trade associations, charitable and corporate coalitions, and UK-based companies. Our work includes building solid and informed relationships with key civil servants and policy-makers.

Our Sectors

Ranelagh has provided professional services to a variety of organisations, such as trade associations, charities, companies and think tanks. We have in-depth experience of sectors and related policy areas including:

EDUCATION

Ranelagh has a wealth of knowledge in education and children's policy. We have advised major educational trade associations, assessment providers, publishers and technology companies.

Energy & Environment

Having worked in a number of different energy disciplines, Ranelagh can give support where needed to speak to the right people across Government and the devolved administrations.

Technology

Ranelagh has worked with a number of educational, creative and environmental organisations where we have demonstrated the positive impact technology can have.

Creative Industries

Contributing almost £10 million an hour to the UK economy, the creative industries are a crucial component of the UK’s cultural and economic life. Yet they are so often overlooked.

Construction & Planning

Ranelagh has worked on a number projects bringing together and educating key influencers, such as local authorities, local business groups, residents’ associations and local Members of Parliament.

Pharmaceuticals

In our post-Brexit economy, it is essential that the UK’s pharmaceutical industry maintains a strong and secure supply chain. Knowledge of how the sector operates and trades within and beyond the EU is imperative.

With Ranelagh’s guidance we have formed positive relationships with key decision makers and they have enabled us to engage with the Government’s changes to the education system. Their dedication, knowledge and expertise are second to none, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
