  As the former Director of the Press Complaints Commission (PCC), Stig has spent the past decade offering advice and support to people and organisations at the centre of media storms. At Pagefield, he is head of our crisis and issues management practice. He provided strategic support for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant and Battersea Power Station. His current clients include Sime Darby, the largest Malaysian conglomerate, and he privately advises high-profile institutions, organisations and individuals who are subject to media scrutiny. Prior to joining Pagefield, Stig was heavily involved in establishing proposals for a reformed regulatory system for the British press. His contribution to the Leveson Inquiry was described by LJ Leveson as a “genuine tour de force”. Stig became Director of the PCC, having performed a variety of roles, including press officer, Assistant Director and Deputy Director. While at the PCC, Stig established a ground-breaking 24-hour crisis advice service for those in need of support regarding press issues, acting as an advocate for organisations across almost every sector - from financial institutions to media companies and Government departments - celebrities and members of the public directly with newspaper editors and executives. Stig has excellent contacts across the British press at a senior level, and has written for several newspapers and magazines including the Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph, the Times Literary Supplement, the Spectator and the Guardian. He regularly previews the newspapers for Sky News, and contributes his views on the media to the BBC, ITV, Al Jazeera and other broadcast outlets. He has a double first in English from Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Show less
