Freshwater has been recognised as one of the UK’s top consultancies for third year running by the Financial Times

Strategic communications agency, Freshwater, has – for the third consecutive year – been named as one of the UK’s leading management consultancies in an independent report published by the Financial Times and Statista.

Headquartered in Cardiff, with a second office in central London, Freshwater’s work was recognised once again in the Public and Social Care Sector section of the report, which is created using independent recommendations from clients and industry peers.

News of the ranking sees Freshwater further cement its position as one of the UK’s top strategic communications agencies for public sector organisations, alongside a series of recent major client wins.

Twenty-nineteen saw Freshwater secure a hat trick of Welsh Government campaigns to promote the Childcare Offer for Wales and SMART Innovation programme, and communicate changes to the minimum price for alcohol to audiences across Wales.

The agency continues to expand its twenty year-plus footprint in healthcare communications, and has recently begun work on several additional projects with Cheshire East Health and Care Partnership, Devon Partnership NHS Trust, North West London Health and Care Partnership and Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.

A consumer campaign to raise awareness of the issue of male infertility, backed by comedian Rhod Gilbert, and a brief from the Tech Valleys Strategic Action Group were also among a series of public sector client wins for Freshwater in recent months.

“It’s a real privilege to be trusted by public sector organisations across the UK to communicate the things that matter most in people’s lives. Whether that’s health and wellbeing, access to services, education or support for their businesses – effective communication is key,” said Angharad Neagle, Freshwater’s chief executive.

“Freshwater is focused on delivering excellence for all our clients, and to receive independent industry recognition for our work for the third year running is testament to our team’s passion, professionalism and absolute commitment to making a positive impact.”

The ‘UK’s Leading Management Consultants 2020’ report is produced by independent research company, Statista and published by the Financial Times. It highlights firms across different sectors and services that have been recommended for their excellence. The report was compiled using data from two online surveys; one which polled partners and executives at management consultancies, with the other going to clients of consultancies.
