PLMR’s team offers an exceptional range of political experience to our clients. We provide outstanding campaigns advice based on years of experience and a track record of success.
Colleagues have worked across the political spectrum in Westminster (both Houses), the devolved assemblies and Brussels, in think tanks and party offices, and in local authorities across the UK.
The following provides a snapshot of the depth and breadth of outside of work experience we can bring to campaigns. Managing Director Kevin Craig was elected three times as a Councillor for a London Borough, stood as a Parliamentary Candidate in 2005 and was an Election Agent for a Member of Parliament in 2010, where he oversaw a majority increase despite boundary changes that reduced the size of the electorate. Chris Calland and Peter Elms campaigned in Ohio for Barack Obama in 2008 and in local government elections across England Elin Twigge has worked for leading green think-tank SERA and an inner London education charity. David Madden has worked for a Liberal Democrat Peer on Health issues and Lisa Bailey was a Senior Press Officer at Conservative HQ.
Steven Gauge spent eight years as a local councillor and has been a parliamentary candidate and election agent for the Liberal Democrats. He organised media visits all around the UK for Liberal Democrat leaders Nick Clegg and Charles Kennedy during the 2010 and 2005 General Elections. Steven trains politicians and campaigners overseas for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy working in over a dozen different countries during the last three years from Afghanistan to Sierra Leone.Nathan Hollow has been active for the Liberal Democrats in Cornwall for over six years and was Campaign Manager for the ‘Yes Campaign’ for the whole county in the 2011 Alternative Vote Referendum.
