In this election year, 56° North’s expert panel brings together unparalleled practical insight to help your organisation achieve its aims.
A year of profound political change lies ahead
This year the UK’s main political parties will lay out their approach to the economy, trade, investment, regulation, the labour market, infrastructure, and skills; all ahead of a widely anticipated general election in 2024.
56° North’s expert general election advisory board has been assembled to complement the unique experiences of our in-house team with additional deep knowledge, insight and analysis. We bring together the brightest and best across Westminster, Whitehall and Holyrood – all to give you an edge as you seek to understand, engage and shape decision-making with the key players.
Tailored sessions for your senior leadership help you sharpen your public affairs strategy, with insight from those who know best the pitfalls and opportunities brought about through the changing makeup of the House of Commons.
Our campaign briefings and bulletins drill down into the key things you need to know, and our first 100 days programme looks at the likely changing business, policy and regulatory environment; as well as providing actionable intelligence from the fallout of the election – including from the debate in the unsuccessful parties as they seek to form a cohesive opposition.
Ask us to provide you with a detailed proposal that sets your team up for success through this pivotal year.
