Lucy James
Lucy co-founded EQ Communications, a community relations and stakeholder engagement consultancy, in 2017. She specialises in the development, transport, infrastructure and energy sectors and has planned and implemented programmes of stakeholder engagement on behalf of numerous companies involved in the regulated water, gas and electricity sectors supporting the development of their Business Plans.
She was a former Partner at Westbourne Communications, a Westminster-based public affairs company, running consultation programmes for FTSE-100 companies. Prior to this she coordinated all media and public affairs activity for the pro-HS2 campaign, including running the secretariat for an All-Party Parliamentary Group.
Over the course of her career she has supported PR campaigns and programmes of stakeholder engagement for some of the UK's leading brands and worked closely with Government, including No.10, the Department for Transport, the Home Office and the Department for Communities and Local Government.
She set up EQ Communications because she passionately believes that companies make better decisions when they involve the people who matter most to their business.
