Any business, trade body, charity or other campaigning organisation that wants to raise its profile or influence public policy will always need to engage with the government.

Labour looks increasingly like it will form the next government, with only the size of the majority in question. Understanding Labour’s priorities, how the party operates, who its most influential figures are and building positive relationships with senior frontbenchers is now more important than ever.

Here at Whitehouse, we have a specialist Labour Engagement Forum to help organisations understand what key Labour Party figures are thinking, what their political priorities are, what the internal processes are for policy development, and where the opportunities exist to engage with key Labour decision makers.

Headed by Max Wilson, former Senior Political Adviser to the Leader of the Opposition, the Labour Engagement Forum combines our insight into internal party processes with our experience of running high-profile public affairs campaigns to provide strategic counsel for organisations looking to engage with Starmer’s Labour party.

Many of our wider team have established excellent Labour links through our work with Select Committees, All-Party Parliamentary Groups, opposition frontbench spokespersons in both Houses of Parliament and the staff of the Labour Party itself which is now based just a few metres from our office in Southwark.
