Nick Clark
Managing Director
Nick has now worked in PR for longer than he hasn’t. He’s obsessed with helping people and clients communicate clearly and simply. If you pin him down he’ll tell you he’s really a business to business and corporate communicator. Happily married with two children and living with a growing menagerie of pets in the suburbs, when he’s not being called on to defeat Nintendo baddies or help with maths homework, he’s a cricket fanatic and is battling to get his golf handicap under control. Follow Nick on Twitter, connect on LinkedIn or drop him a line on nickc@consolidatedpr.com.
Tim Adams
Chairman
Our chairman Tim has worked in the agency business for 25 years: starting with Saatchi & Saatchi, then launching and building a multi-award-winning consumer agency, leading its growth and eventual sale to the management team he’d built up. He’s subsequently been applying his experience as a consultant and advisor to a range of agency businesses. He became Consolidated’s non-exec chairman in 2007 where his job is to ask tricky questions, check we’re not slacking and generally give the Board a hard time. Outside the office, he juggles family commitments in London, Somerset and Dublin with a lifelong and mostly long-suffering commitment to Leicester City FC, who reciprocated by giving him a signed football as a wedding present in 1996. Two inspiration points in one!  You can reach Tim on tima@consolidatedpr.com.
Liz Fay
Head of Consumer
Liz started her career as a press officer for the US Air Force, just like Top Gun only not as sunny. She has worked agency side for 14 years and is passionate about PR that makes people switch on and do something. Whether it’s a brand or a Government department, Liz firmly believes that effective communication starts with finding out all you can about the people you want to connect with. A fiercely proud mother of one and a part-time painter (of art, not walls), you can find Liz on LinkedIn or get in touch on lizf@consolidatedpr.com.
Paul Borge
Head of Digital
Paul gets notoriously grumbly when it comes to consultants that spend more time talking about social media than getting on with delivering brilliant campaigns for clients. For him it’s all about measurable results and ROI. He has 12 years of solid PR and digital experience and a love of technology and the web that shine through in his creative and pragmatic approach.  He’s inspired by his bicycle and the way it completely changes his perspective of London. When he’s not in the office you’ll most likely find him in the kitchen or the garden, probably with a good bottle of red in one hand a plate of home made Italian food in the other. Paul runs our Twitter account, or you can connect with him on LinkedIn or by email on paulb@consolidatedpr.com.
Will Holt
Head of Scotland
An agency stalwart, Will may have tired of London and headed north to open the Scottish office, but he certainly isn’t tired of life. Over the years, he’s turned his hand to most things and is as comfortable running government public information campaigns as he is stirring things up for challenger brands. When struggling for that big idea, he’s been known to put his collection of deco cocktail shakers to good use. Edinburgh based, he’s regularly pursuing various sporting interests in the Highlands whilst counting down the days to the next Cheltenham Festival. Email Will on willh@consolidatedpr.com.
Chris Lawrence
Creative Director
Chris has a passion for stories – telling them, hearing them, writing them, creating them… which is why media in all its forms inspires him every day. No surprise seeing as he started life as a journalist before turning gamekeeper to create stonking content for all the agency’s clients. He’s a firm believer in great ideas being able to work across the board – from TV to Twitter, red tops to radio – and while blue sky thinking is positively encouraged what really counts are creative ideas that generate the right results – from brand awareness to simply selling stuff. His mum still thinks he works in advertising and he has given up trying to explain the difference. Get in touch on chrisl@consolidatedpr.com.
Stephen Marsh
Financial Director
Stephen calls the British Museum his second home – not that he is old enough to be an exhibit, mind. It is its amazing collections of artefacts dating back centuries which are real perspective givers when he needs time to think and de-stress away from his spreadsheets. A country lad at heart, Stephen commutes from his little bit of heaven in rural Cambridgeshire where he enjoys the great outdoors with his wife and three boys, not to mention his kitchen garden, orchard and chickens. As a gin fiend he is particular about his brand of Tonic (Sipsmith and Fever-Tree by the way) and makes some wicked fruit gins to keep himself warm in winter. Drop him a line on stephenm@consolidatedpr.com or keep an eye on him on Twitter.
Claire Crutchley
Head of New Business
Claire has been chasing up prospective clients within the PR industry for the last ten years, following a background on the client handling side in consumer agencies in London and Manchester. She’s known to don her beloved running shoes for those moments when she’s looking for inspiration, and is thrilled to have children who are old enough to make her packed lunch for her, rather than the other way round. Drop her a line on clairec@consolidatedpr.com or connect on LinkedIn.
Elspeth Rothwell
Board Director
Identifying the issues that financial services providers can own that matter to the media is Elspeth’s passion. Whether that’s getting business banking specialists to talk about growth or mortgage providers to talk about property, she creates issues-based campaigns that deliver both column inches and bottom line value to her clients.  Her love for PR-ing mortgages in particular may have something to do with her passion for renovating houses. A serial property ladder climber she loves breathing life into tired properties to create gorgeous homes. Drop Elspeth a line on elspethr@consolidatedpr.com.
Anne Clarke
Board Director
Anne is a key player in our public sector offering with experience across campaigns for English, Irish and Scottish Governments. Social marketing work has been interspersed with major brand campaigns and crisis comms management over the years. A particular area of interest is marketing to women. In her spare time she loves a bit of art and culture (high and low). She is an avid reader and sometimes writer, having completed the STORY seminar with grumpy Hollywood legend Robert McKee and fiction courses at UCLA. Follow Anne on Twitter, or drop her a line on annec@consolidatedpr.com.
