Hanover appoints new director in its London Health team

Jennifer Blainey has been engaged by Hanover to take charge of government affairs, policy and access programmes for its clients. Ms Blainey started off as a researcher for Euro RSCG Apex and then moved to DLA Piper as account executive. She was a voluntary press secretary for centre-right think tank the Bow Group and held senior roles at Helen Johnson Consulting and Lexington Communications, and latterly joined Celgene UK to head up the corporate government programme.

Ms Blainey said: “I have worked with Hanover as a client for a number of years and always admired their strategic insight and focus on delivery. Their award-winning combination of policy, access and communications is pretty unique, and I am excited to be joining the team.”

Hanover Health’s MD, Andrew Harrison, said: “Healthcare has never been more important, and the months and years ahead will see great changes in health systems. Jennifer’s critical thinking and strong industry experience will increase our ability to help clients stay ahead of the game and breakthrough in their objectives.”
