Shameless Plug!

I am delighted to report that Edelman’s Public Affairs team has been shortlisted in two categories for this year’s Public Affairs News Awards.

Anthony Marlowe has been shortlisted in the Newcomer of the Year Category, while Michael Burrell has been shortlisted in the Outstanding Contribution Category – soon the term ‘legend’ will be official!!

A big well done to both Anthony and Michael. If you would like to show your support – you can vote for them here!

Response to the Budget

by Alex Bigg on 23 April 2009 · 1 comment

Today, we welcomed over 120 guests to our office in Victoria to discuss the ups (there weren’t many) and downs (too many to list) of yesterday’s Budget. Robert Phillips chaired a panel discussion, which included:

  • Andrew Cooper, Founder & Strategic Director of Populus, who revealed the immediate response from yesterday’s post-Budget poll
  • John Cridland CBE, Deputy Director General, CBI
  • John McFall MP, Chair of the Treasury Select Committee
  • Philip Hammond MP, Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury
  • Peter Riddell, Political Commentator and Assistant Editor of The Times

You can watch interviews with the panel and download the Populus findings here.
