Shearwater is new, but the ties that bind its founding staff are not. We have worked closely together for many years – in business, in government or across the negotiating table. We have held top jobs in politics and public administration in Britain, Europe, Australia and the United States. We have come together now because we believe our combined perspectives can help business rediscover its voice in British, European and global policy-making. The battle to beat the pandemic has shown that the big challenges of our time can only be solved through collaboration, with business being closely involved. We work with clients, regulators, politicians and other actors to ensure big policy goals go hand in hand with economic growth. Our advice to clients is based on decades of watching close-up how the world’s most powerful people talk to one another. We help make our clients players, not just spectators, in that conversation. We do not lament a lost age. We operate in the world as it is now, a world that is straining the relationship between nations but also between public bodies and the private sector.
