Weber Shandwick has hired former Scottish National Party strategist Stephen Noon as a senior advisor to boost its public affairs team in Scotland.
Formerly chief strategist of the Yes Campaign and senior policy advisor to the First Minister, he joins the firm to advise clients on their policy and political engagement strategy.
Noon said: “If we are going to have good public policy in Scotland and the UK, it is important that the wisdom and experience of the business community is part of the discussion.
