The Comms Clinic
For communication that connects, inspires, and drives excellent results
About Me
Hi, I'm Pete. Thank you for checking in with The Comms Clinic.
With over 25 years’ experience in communications, I’ve seen first-hand how the right message, delivered the right way, can unite people, inspire action, and transform results.
From the start of my career, I’ve been driven by a belief that communication isn’t just about sharing information — it’s about creating connection and driving change.
As a trusted strategic adviser to senior leaders in some of the Civil Service’ largest operational directorates, I’ve led communications that engage over 9,000 colleagues, protect organisational reputation, and bring big strategies to life.
I thrive in fast-paced environments — anticipating challenges, finding solutions, and making sure messages land where they matter most.
I believe in straight-talking, supportive communication that reflects an organisation’s culture while getting the results it needs.
Whether it’s building a campaign, refreshing channels, or guiding leadership messaging, I combine creativity with data-led insight to deliver measurable change.
At the heart of my work is a simple aim: to help people feel connected, informed, and inspired — because when communication works, everything works better
