Dear Reader,

The chances are, like most of our visitors, you’ve heard about Paternoster from people who know us, and we’re delighted you’ve come to find out more.

We’re a team of experienced and talented senior communications people. We love what we do, care about our clients and are proud of the work we deliver. Most of our team have at least 20 years’ experience under their belts. We also happen to get along really well with each other and share our skills and advice freely within the team.

People choose Paternoster because we offer discreet and expert counsel to clients who are usually facing a moment of significant change in the organisations they lead, and who need help to communicate a consistent message to everyone who matters to them — including employees, the media, investors and customers. We help our clients see the woods for the trees, working closely together to find the best way forward and offering the clarity on messaging that only an external advisor can provide. You’ll find us at our best in complex situations, often working as a key part of an advisory team. We pride ourselves on our collaborative and supportive relationships, but are also unafraid to challenge our clients constructively.

We tend to work with companies that are owned by private equity, are family businesses or founder-led firms with ambitions to grow quickly. Our business model appeals to our clients because it allows them access to the best-quality advice and delivery, provided by an experienced senior team, without having to pay for additional extras that they don’t need. We’ve grown our successful business by providing value for money to our clients, without compromising on the quality of what we do. We also have a specialist team that advises academic institutions on their communications needs.

Much of what we do is confidential, but it’s almost certain that we will have a relevant case study that shows we can achieve the results you’re looking for. We would be delighted to discuss what you want to achieve and to see if we’re the right team for you. We’re also happy to introduce you to our other clients, who are always the best judges of our work.

We look forward to hearing from you.

With best regards,

Tom Buchanan
Founder
