Huntsworth is run by Group CEO Lord Chadlington, who created and built Weber Shandwick. (www.webershandwick.com). Lord Chadlington's leadership of Huntsworth dates back to 2000. [1]
Following the sale of Shandwick to IPG in 1998, Lord Chadlington took equity in Huntsworth which was then operating principally in three areas: sales promotion, public relations and design. Having built a significant holding of around 29.9%, Lord Chadlington called an EGM in August 2000 and voted himself and two colleagues, Jon Foulds and Anthony Brooke onto the Board.
They set about a programme of cost reduction, improving the health of existing agencies then in the group and a strategy of focus for growth through acquisitions.
In August 2009, Huntsworth announced that it was to consolidate its global brands into four companies; Grayling, Citigate, Red and Huntsworth Health. [3]
Four main brands:
Others including: Atomic PR; Haslimann Taylor; Hudson Sandler; Momentum Creative Communications; Quiller consultants; SCPR; Tonic Life Communications.
