Razor sharpens team with trio of appointments

Oxfordshire and London consultancy, Razor (www.razor-pr.com), part of the College Hill group, has further strengthened its Corporate and crisis management team with three new members, taking it to 18 regular advisers who work with clients across Europe and the USA.

Clare Walder, aged 41, of Fritwell, Oxfordshire has joined the team as Office and Team Manager. She will also support the agency’s training and coaching service. Ian Robinson, aged 39, of Banbury, Oxfordshire has also joined as the business’ new Finance Manager.

Meanwhile Richard Coleman, aged 30, of Ealing, London joins the Corporate team as a Consultant, working under the College Hill brand. Richard joins from a south-east PR agency, where he focused on clients in the financial, energy, aviation and education sectors. Initially, he will play a vital role supporting the team on media relations-led briefs.

Razor head and College Hill Managing Partner, Chris Woodcock, says: “We have been part of College Hill for two years now and, thanks to the joint working across our two offices and the combined strength on offer across College Hill practices, we are able to pitch for more varied briefs from more varied markets, and our revenue has almost doubled in that period as a result. The recession has made the climate tougher but our own horizons have definitely expanded.”
