Apella Advisors appoints two Partners - Liz Lynch and Sam Bevans

 

22 September 2022 (London)

Apella Advisors, the strategic communications consultancy, has appointed two partners.

Liz Lynch joins Apella in October from TSB Bank, where she was Head of External Affairs and Public Policy. Prior to this Liz was a partner at a leading communications agency and worked in politics and in the media.

Sam Bevans joined Apella as a Director in 2021 and has been integral in developing the firm’s strategic campaign capabilities.

Liz will be supporting Apella’s broader strategic communications offer.  She will lead the public and regulatory affairs capability that complements the firm’s experience, expertise, and data-led insights that help organisations build, protect, and enhance their reputation.

Further appointments will be made to support the growth of Apella’s public and regulatory affairs capability.

Julian Hanson-Smith, Chair of Apella, said: “We’re very pleased to be bringing someone of Liz’s calibre to Apella as a demonstration of our commitment to building a first-class and differentiated public and regulatory affairs offer at Apella.  Government and regulation touches almost every business, and increasingly shapes how an enterprise behaves and develops.”

“Sam has made a significant contribution to the firm since he joined and is highly valued as an advisor by his clients. We’re delighted that he has been appointed as an Apella partner.”

Liz Lynch said: “Over just a short period of time Apella has built an outstanding team, an exciting client base and a leading reputation. They are perfectly placed to extend their offer and help businesses take a more efficient, longer-term and more effective approach to public affairs. I am thrilled to be joining and can’t wait to start.”
