Bio
Jack Withrington
Sophie is the ideal person you would want to provide you with front and backroom support in a political or policy space. She is a driven, reliable and diligent worker whose attention to detail is first-rate. In particular, her knowledge and passion for issues on defence and women’s issues, in my experience, are unparalleled and she can effortlessly apply herself to rapidly changing environments and situations. It was never a chore to work with Sophie and it was very easy to entrust her with tackling challenging tasks independently, without the need for supervision. Throughout my fortunate time working with Sophie, she consistently delivered work that was punctual, thorough and always above what was minimally required. She would quickly become an asset to any employer.

At ComRes I created a defence sector client base, advising and managing projects on behalf of the Defence Industries Council, Babcock, Thales, The Royal British Legion and the UK National Defence Association, to name but a few. I have also led several international research projects on behalf of NATO.
