Actively leading Development Consent Order and Transport and Works Act Order applications for National Significant Infrastructure Programmes for a range of transformation proposals, Damian specialises in identifying, planning for, and managing the risks of conducting public consultations on potentially contentious proposals throughout the infrastructure sector.
Damian said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to have recently joined Thirty47 as an Associate during what is clearly an incredibly exciting time to be able to join one of the leading specialist communications agencies in the planning, development, and infrastructure sector.
“My lifelong passion for public relations combined with nearly two decades of experience developing and delivering communications, stakeholder engagement and public consultations, my aim is to make things as easy as possible for us to achieve our clients’ goals whilst ensuring our customers are at the heart of everything we do as we continue to grow our offering supporting nationally significant infrastructure projects throughout the UK.”
Will Morgan, Founding Director at Thirty4/7 Communications said:
“It’s great to have Damian on board and integrating his expertise within the team. As a company, we’ve seen a marked increase in the amount of work we undertake on transport and infrastructure schemes with a couple of important new clients, including National Highways and Transport for Wales. I’m looking forward to working with Damian as we continue to grow our offering in the transport and large scale infrastructure sector.”
