Bio
Abigail Smith
I worked with Rob for three years at Edelman. He was the day-to-day lead for a number of flagship accounts and I reported directly to him on these accounts. He was an inspiring leader who demanded high-quality work consistently but invested in more junior colleagues to develop their skillset. He gave me the freedom to take on challenging tasks but encouraged, motivated and supported me when I needed guidance and/or advice. His knowledge on parliamentary procedure is very impressive and was greatly appreciated by colleagues and clients alike.
David Chaplin
I worked with Rob for nearly two years in his roles as Political Advisor to Liz Kendall, and Political Officer for the Labour Party. Whatever is going on around him, Rob has a calm and thoughtful approach to his work, which was often invaluable during busy periods. He is hard-working, reliable, trustworthy and dedicated, and he is widely respected by his colleagues across the Labour Party. Rob has fantastic knowledge of how Westminster really works, and he brings a sharp political eye to any situation or challenge.
