Speaking about the appointment Neil Carmichael said “I am delighted to be joining PLMR. The combination of being part of a great team and having the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients is going to be stimulating and interesting. With so many areas of public policy being contested, reformed and scrutinised, there will be plenty to do for businesses and professions with ambitions to be modern, responsive and engaged.”
Commenting on the role, PLMR’s MD, Elin de Zoete, added “Neil brings a wealth of relevant experience to PLMR, from his in-depth knowledge of education, agriculture and Europe, to his detailed understanding of parliamentary process and policy development. We are honoured to be welcoming Neil to PLMR and look forward to the value he will bring for clients, new business prospects and the wider team.”
