Teneo has named Ben Bradshaw, a veteran Labour Party politico and former member of the UK parliament, senior advisor for political and policy matters.
The move comes as Labour leader Keir Starmer settles in as Britain’s prime minister.
Bradshaw served in the Labour governments of Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.
In Brown’s administration, Bradshaw was minister of state for health services, and minister of state for local environment, marine and animal welfare.
Under Blair, he was deputy leader of the House of Commons, and parliamentary under-secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Nick Claydon, CEO of Teneo’s UK strategy and communications unit, said Bradshaw’s deep insights and experience will help clients understand the priorities and approach of the new Labour administration.
