William Walter, Managing Director at Bridgehead Communications

William Walter is the Managing Director of Bridgehead Communications. He has over 15 years' experience in media and consultancy, and is an expert in corporate communications, adult social care PR, and education and skills.

He began his career in Parliament, working as an aide and speechwriter to three MPs — including the then Shadow Minister for Universities & Skills, Rt Hon David Willetts MP, and the Shadow Pensions Minister, Nigel Waterson MP.

Corporate

A former media adviser to the Governments of Georgia and Lithuania, he has also worked for individuals, family offices and FTSE 100 companies, including HSBC and Reckitt Benckiser, advising on their corporate communications.

Education and Skills

His work with the Shadow Minister for Universities & Skills marked the start of his deep interest in the education sector. In 2014 he co-authored a landmark study into the earnings and employment opportunities of graduates compared with those of apprenticeships. The findings were widely reported in the national media. He has since advised a host of schools, sixth-form colleges, further education colleges, and independent training providers on their political and media outreach.

Social Care

As a former adviser to the Shadow Minister for Older People and a regular columnist for leading sector trade publication Caring Times, William has a detailed knowledge and understanding of the adult social care sector. He advises some of the country's leading care providers and their suppliers on their political and media engagement.
