Bridgehead Communications

What we do

Specialist communications,
by sector.

PR, public affairs, brand and crisis, fused into one partner-led team. We work where regulation, reputation and clinical or political expertise intersect.

How we're organised

Six sectors, three divisions, one partner.

The sectors below aren't six separate teams filed under one roof. They pair off into three divisions, each built around the regulator, policy environment or press book its two sectors actually share, so specialist knowledge carries across the pairing instead of sitting in a silo.

Healthcare + Care

Health & Social Care

NHS Trusts and private hospital groups sit alongside care home, home care and nursing operators, because the same regulator (the CQC), the same workforce pressures and often the same journalists cover both.

Education + Skills

Education & Skills

Schools, multi-academy trusts and universities share a division with further education colleges and training providers, since DfE policy, Ofsted and admissions pressure move through the same channels.

Corporate + Private Individuals

Corporate & Private Individuals

B2B and financial services PR sits with personal reputation work, because the CEOs, founders and partners we build corporate coverage for are often the same people who later need to be visible without being exposed.

Questions

Before you pick a sector.

As three divisions rather than six unrelated teams: Health & Social Care, Education & Skills, and Corporate & Private Individuals. Each pairs sectors that share a regulator, a policy environment or a press book, so specialist knowledge carries across both halves of the division instead of sitting in a silo.

Most engagements sit across two: a healthtech company buying both healthcare and corporate work, or a care group's chief executive wanting personal PR alongside the organisation's social-care campaign. We staff the brief, not the org chart, so one partner runs both sides rather than handing you off between teams.

PR, public affairs and digital strategy run through the same partner rather than three separate suppliers, and every sector practice, healthcare through private individuals, has a named crisis lead available out of hours. What changes by sector is the regulator, the press list and the specialist counsel; the delivery model doesn't.

Book a strategy call. It's thirty minutes with a partner, not a salesperson, and they'll tell you which division fits, what the work would look like, and whether we're the right agency at all before either side commits to anything.

There's no published rate card for any sector, healthcare and corporate work included. After the strategy call you get a plan and a price: a clear scope and fee range set against your specific brief, not a sector-wide tariff.
