PPHC acquires Pagefield, expanding public affairs reach to London

Global Public Affairs Leader PPHC Makes Strategic Move into UK Market Public Policy Holding Company (PPHC), a US-based public affairs and lobbying giant listed on the London Stock Exchange, has acquired UK-based cross-party public affairs firm Pagefield Communications for up to £30 million. This move marks PPHC's first international expansion and strengthens its ability to serve its global client base, including nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies.Previously operating solely in the US, PPHC’s ten member companies boast a diverse client base spanning healthcare, finance, energy, technology, and more. Pagefield, founded in 2010, brings a team of 36 public affairs specialists and a strong track record of growth. The firm will retain its brand identity and operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPHC.This strategic acquisition benefits both parties. Pagefield gains access to PPHC’s extensive US network, expertise, and resources. PPHC, in turn, leverages Pagefield’s deep understanding of the UK political landscape to establish a foothold in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.Commenting on the acquisition, PPHC CEO Stewart Hall (pictured) highlighted the company's commitment to both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. With a strong balance sheet and a healthy pipeline of opportunities in the US, UK, and Europe, PPHC is well-positioned for continued expansion.
