Bell Pottinger Public Affairs Managing Director, David Sowells, said:
“We are really excited about working with Jacobs. Their expertise spans energy and environment, defence, transport, local government, as well as education and health infrastructure – all areas in which BPPA has a strong track record itself. We are pleased to be working with Jacobs to ensure that the impressive part they are playing in delivering first class infrastructure for the UK is recognised by government and other stakeholders.”
