Our Story
Henham was founded by Nick King, who worked in government from 2012 to 2018 as a policy adviser to Jeremy Hunt, Maria Miller and Sajid Javid, and as Chief of Staff to Sajid Javid.
Today our team of fifteen brings together former special advisers, civil servants, government economists and seasoned press officers. We work for businesses, trade bodies and charities, and for the councils, combined authorities and partnerships shaping every region.
With expertise across politics, economics and reputation, we deliver outcomes that matter for our clients and the wider community.
How We Work
What sets us apart.
Unrivalled connections
We are plugged in at all levels of local and national government, helping clients understand and reach their crucial audiences.
London-based, not London-centric
We work right across the UK, at every level of local and regional government: councils, Mayoral Combined Authorities and Pan-Regional Partnerships.
Tailored to you
We take a tailored approach to each client’s individual needs and objectives, supporting them with the right blend of services.
