What Tavistock Communications does

Tavistock Communications Limited is a London-based, independent corporate and financial communications consultancy founded in 1991, providing advisory services rather than technology products. The firm operates six core service lines: Financial Public Relations, Corporate Public Relations, Investor Relations, Public Affairs & Political PR, Digital & Design, and ESG Advisory, delivered through sector-specialist teams covering financial services, real estate, natural resources, energy & infrastructure, consumer, insurance, and TMT.

The company serves an enterprise client base primarily composed of FTSE 100, 250 and AIM-listed companies, alongside fast-growing private companies, UK and international governments, charities, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. Notable mandates include advising Wheaton Precious Metals on its £17bn London secondary listing in 2020, HydrogenOne Capital Growth on its £107.4m LSE IPO in September 2022, and London Tunnels on its Euronext Amsterdam listing in 2024, as well as acting as corporate communications adviser to LGPS ACCESS Pool (£60bn AUM).

The business model is fee-based professional services with custom engagement pricing; distribution is via direct senior-advisory relationships supported by thought leadership content, a branded podcast (Tavistock Talks), and participation in major industry conferences (MIPIM, Mining Indaba, Africa Oil Week, Expo Real). The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investment, governed by a partner/director team led by CEO Jos Simson, with Jeremy Carey as Founder and Chairman, and was recognized in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026.
