Communications and public consultation specialist Remarkable Group has completed the acquisition of Pendragon Public Relations, creating Remarkable Pendragon.
In acquiring the infrastructure and energy stakeholder consultation business, Remarkable has enhanced its position at the forefront of stakeholder consultation for the property, waste management, utility and infrastructure and energy sectors.
The highly experienced Pendragon team, led by Alex Doyle, will combine with Remarkable’s 70 staff, national presence and innovative approach to online consultation. This is the latest step in the growth of Remarkable who have opened offices in Manchester, Bristol and Cardiff this year to complement existing offices in London and Winchester.
Commenting on the acquisition, Chief Executive of Remarkable Group, Stephen Pomeroy, said: “With the CBI/URS survey showing high levels of support for an independent commission to oversee UK long term infrastructure planning amid concerns over the effect of political intervention, it is right that we ensure we are providing unmatched sector expertise.
“Remarkable Pendragon is a first for the UK stakeholder consultation market: an agency dedicated to helping companies achieve positive planning outcomes and wider stakeholder and government relations for infrastructure and energy projects. I have admired the work of Alex and his team for many years and I’m delighted to be able to welcome them into the Remarkable Group.
“The expertise of Remarkable Pendragon, its national reach, and innovation in digital and creative consultation solutions will provide clients with an unrivalled offering that brings measurable business results. We will focus on supporting infrastructure and energy clients through planning permission, construction and into operation, with communication strategies designed to build strong community, political and stakeholder relationships.”
Alex Doyle, of Remarkable Pendragon, said: “We are delighted to become part of the Remarkable growth story, and look forward to working with our new colleagues to offer infrastructure and energy clients an exceptional service. We are shaking up the way stakeholder consultation is delivered in the UK.”
