Cardiff: So, guess what? Deryn, the top public affairs agency in Wales, just got picked up by Cavendish, one of the big names in the UK. They didn’t spill the beans on how much the deal was worth, but it’s a big step for both companies.
The cool part is that Deryn’s founders, Cathy Owens and Nerys Evans, are sticking around. They started Deryn 13 years ago, and now they’ll be running things under the new name Cavendish Cymru. Plus, the 13 folks at Deryn will join a much larger team of over 180 at Cavendish.
Deryn has a solid reputation for knowing the ins and outs of Welsh politics. The team there has a mix of backgrounds, including special advisers and political editors, which gives them a unique edge.
This acquisition is a win-win. Deryn brings its local knowledge and skills to Cavendish, which means their clients will get even better communication support across the UK and Ireland.
They also mentioned that their impressive client list will fit nicely with Cavendish’s focus areas like energy, infrastructure, and health.
The founders are super excited about this new chapter. They said it’s a great opportunity to offer more services and help clients share their stories in a bigger way. Sounds like a fun adventure ahead!
Carl Daruvalla, the CEO of Cavendish, is equally thrilled. He praised Deryn’s deep understanding of Welsh politics and their top-notch communication skills. He believes this merger will help them provide tailored services to clients all over the UK.
