The Grayling Political Strategy network is headquartered in London and is one of the longest established public affairs consultancies in the UK dating back to the creation of Westminster Strategy in 1986.  As a result of the merger with Citigate Public Affairs in June 2007, Grayling is now one of the largest public affairs consultancies. 

We are also one of the founders of the Association of Professional Politicial Consultants (APPC) and all our consultants adhere to the APPC Code of Conduct. 

What we do
GPS provides full service political communications support delivered by consultants from a wide range of backgrounds.  Members of our team have worked in Westminster, Whitehall, media, the private, public and voluntary sector and together they bring a variety of skills and experience to our offer. 

We help our clients understand how political and regulatory change might affect them and devise appropriate plans to change, shape and influence developments to support their organisation. 

Whilst we work closely with our clients to help avert crisis, we understand and anticipate public, parliamentary and media scrutiny.  Our experienced team is on hand to provide practical help and advice.  Grayling Political Strategy works as one team, when appropriate, with our colleagues in public relations to offer a wholly integrated public affairs and public relations service. 

Who we are
With 40 consultants within the Grayling Political Strategy network, we have almost 20 consultants in the London office which is led by Vivien Hepworth, GPS Chief Executive, supported by Deputy Chief Executive Tanya Joseph who takes responsibility for the day-to-day running of the office.

Our clients
We work with organisations across the public, private and charitable sectors and on a wide range of issues.  We have a particular expertise in health, food, transport and local government.
