Claire Thompson Email & Phone Number

PR professional with wide experience from blue chips to start ups, in-house and agency, and both UK and international. I have a particular love of eco-homes, technology and telecoms and for introducing new concepts (from fertility kits and the first consumer digital cameras to new web propositions) - mostly things that require layers of intelligence.I am personally passionate about environmental advances, education and campaigning for equality - in short, I want the World to be a better place - my profession regularly brings me in touch with the people who can make that happen.I have wide experience co-ordinating large volunteer groups as well as handling international PR campaigns, to say nothing of handling lots of different stakeholders in crisis situations.I get great satisfaction from co-ordinating groups and bringing people on to get their professional best out of them, including internationally. And when we enjoy doing things, we generally do them well. But don't ask me - tap me up for some references and hear it from others.
