We solve public policy challenges
Public affairs. Economics. Data. Policy.
Tom Lees
Managing Director
Tom is a recognised expert across policy, corporate communications, public affairs, lobbying and running high-impact campaigns. His clients include some of the UK and the world’s largest companies particularly across energy, infrastructure, construction and the built environment.
After a decade of working at big corporates he was fed up. Fed up of mediocre consultancies, which oversold, were overstretched and simply weren’t delivering what they promised - that’s why he created Bradshaw Advisory.
Previously he was the Global Head of Corporate Affairs at the FTSE 100-sized consultancy and construction company, Mace Group. While he was there the company’s turnover grew from £1.5 to £2bn, and profits rose by 150%.
Prior to this he worked for a NYSE-listed engineering company on DCOs, business cases and regeneration schemes, for former Secretary of State for Health, Rt Hon Baroness Virginia Bottomley, and the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP when he was Secretary of State for Education. He has a degree and masters in theoretical physics from University College London. He is a NED at a large Multi-Academy Trust of schools across the North of England.
