Interim banking and financial services communications in Yorkshire

 

If your Yorkshire financial services sector organisation, bank or regional office is looking to promote and publicise itself or has a short-term gap of some kind in the communications team then Peter Brown could be just what you’re looking for.

 

Peter is a Yorkshire-based former business journalist with about 10 years experience in media & PR public relations and press office management – much of it in the corporate communications teams of banks and building societies.

 

Finance freelancer to bank on

 

Peter’s now working on an interim and freelance basis, offering financial services organisations based in Yorkshire - or represented locally - an experienced solution to their short-term or ad hoc communications and PR publicity needs.

 

You can contact Peter Brown on Leeds (0113) 815 3033 or 07866 805 185.  Or to send him an email – please click here

 

He’s worked as a PR media communications manager or senior press officer in 3 major financial services organisations - Nationwide Building Society, Alliance & Leicester (and commercial banking arm Girobank) and Yorkshire Bank*.

*Based at Yorkshire Bank's head office in Leeds, West Yorkshire.  Also from Yorkshire Bank press office working on National Australia Bank's other major UK banking subsidiary - Scotland and South of England brand Clydesdale Bank.


Peter's flexible - able to work on a freelance or an interim basis to meet your needs in communications management, public & media relations and copywriting.

 

There are probably communications and media demands or requirements not envisaged here within your bank, insurance & life company, mutual society, B2C consumer & B2B business finance provider or other financial organisation in Yorkshire or elsewhere that someone with Peter’s skills and experience might be able to satisfy.  But roles might typically involve:

 

  • Short-term holiday or sickness cover
  • Maternity cover for a PR Manager or Senior Press Officer
  • Release writing and media liaison during a particularly busy period
  • Representation for a national organisation wishing to raise its profile locally
  • Supporting a major internal communications or change management programme.

Please let colleagues or other business contacts know if you think this may be of interest to them (you can easily do so using the link on the right).

  

 

 

Much of Peter’s financial services experience has been in media and public relations.  It also encompasses community relations, stakeholder and PR agency management, public affairs, internal communications and crisis management – either within banking or outside the sector.


Familiar with finance


Peter is familiar with personal finance journalists on the national and trade press that could be writing about your organisation this week or next, along with what they're looking for from companies that might feature positively in their articles if approached proactively and effectively.


He has represented financial services firms in their dialogue with a variety of other media – from the national and regional general business press to broadcasters and web outlets. An indication of his knowledge of emerging channels such as digital marketing and social media is here.

 

As a regional newspaper business journalist, Peter wrote both about personal finance and the financial services & banking employers in the towns and cities he covered.

Peter isn’t restricted to bank communications and the Yorkshire region, though.  If you work for a financial services organisation elsewhere in the North of England then you may wish to review this page.

 

Or if you're outside the banking sector then you may wish to – start here.  Peter's LinkedIn profile is here.
