John Mattison

John Mattison, B.Sc. (Econ), MIPR

John is a former financial journalist who has worked in corporate and financial public relations for approximately 20 years, advising both nationally and internationally known companies. Prior to establishing Mattison Public Relations, he worked as a senior director in London for the world's three largest public relations consultancies: Burson-Marsteller, Hill & Knowlton and Shandwick. The experience gained in these three major consultancies is now available directly to clients without the associated bureaucracy and overheads of a big organisation.

John's experience in public relations is extensive. Clients have included British Gas, British Rail, Forte, Group 4 Securitas, Hyder (formerly Welsh Water), Racal, Slough Estates, Siebe, Vodafone and many other blue chip organisations. In the professional services sector he has advised Andersen Consulting, Coopers & Lybrand, Donaldsons, Slaughter & May and Deloitte & Touche (Spicer & Oppenheim). Financial services clients have included Goldman Sachs, General Accident, Royal Bank of Scotland, Guardian Royal Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and Save and Prosper.

A particular strength is his work for professional firms and knowledge-based businesses in accountancy, law, management consultancy, software, property, executive search and recruitment. This brings him into regular contact with media who are interested in management topics as well as those who cover corporate activity from purely the financial perspective.

As a journalist John worked for the Investors Chronicle, Evening Standard and Sunday Times, where he became Investment Correspondent and Deputy City Editor. He retains excellent media contacts. John is a graduate in Economics from the London School of Economics and is a former elected member of the Council of the Institute of Public Relations.
