Abchurch strengthens team

Abchurch is please to announce it has appointed two new Account Executives, Jamie Hooper and Oliver Baxendale.

Jamie Hooper, a Politics graduate from the University of Nottingham, started his career as a marketing assistant for biotechnology and commodities conferences in association with the London Stock Exchange.  His experience in the sector also includes overseeing clinical trials at a leading research-based pharmaceutical company, and assisting on client accounts at a Healthcare media agency.  Jamie then moved into PR with an internship at Freud Communications, before spending 18 months at technology PR agency Spreckley Partners, where his clients included personal finance and accounting software manufacturers, leading storage and networking providers, and co-location data centre enablers.

Oliver Baxendale has recently graduated in Communications from the University of Leeds, where he focused on the role of New Media in the Communication Industry.  During his degree, Oliver gained extensive experience including stints at Sky Sports, Lansons Communications and Lucre PR.  He has also gained experience in Financial Services for a mortgage advisor.

Julian Bosdet, Chief Executive of Abchurch, said:  “I am delighted to welcome Jamie and Oliver to the Abchurch team.  We are seeing increasing demand at the moment for our corporate PR and financial PR skills and also our Private Client Investment Manager (“PCIM”) programmes, as well as the rekindling of the IPO market, so now is the perfect time to strengthen our team.

“Jamie’s experience in the life sciences sector will benefit Abchurch as we seek to expand our practice and Oliver brings experience in both New Media and Financial Services, in both of which Abchurch is very strong.”
