2018 is emerging as a year of growth and progress for many PR companies so far. One of the most recent organizations to see changes occurring in their network is Hydra Strategy - a senior only consultancy which began launching only a year ago in 2017. Hydra Strategy recently announced that they are appointing a former MHP and Bell Pottinger Public Affairs directly, Neil Stockley to the role of "partner" - effective immediately.
Neil Stockley sets himself apart as a PR agent with years of experience in the energy sector. Stockley also has more than thirty years of experience working with the political scene and public policy across New Zealand and the UK. Up until now, Stockley's clients have been wide-ranging and diverse, including National Grid - one of Europe's biggest renewable energy generator. Stockley has also been working alongside renewable investors, solar operators and energy retailers during his career.
Notably, Stockley also held onto a position in-house for Arqiva. During this time, he was responsible for implementing and developing political communication policies supporting smart meter activities for the infrastructure and media group.
