About Rebecca Watson
A PR and Communications professional with more than 30-years’ experience and a specialism in crisis communications, I deliver targeted results-driven multi-channel campaigns to internal and external audiences. I have experience of working in international businesses, with disparate workforces, regulated business such as Energy, pharmaceuticals and policing, public sector, media and not for profit. From managing teams to supporting and empowering volunteers, I believe diversity of thought brings innovation and encourage people to develop themselves. I’m equally comfortable, meeting tight deadlines or reacting to fast evolving situations as I am setting long-term strategy.
