[post_content] => Despite the UK referendum result, many UK companies are still closely connected with European markets. Regulations and legislation from the EU will impact on British companies for many years to come while any organisation trading in Europe will need to still influence future policy. European Government Relations is now more important than ever!
The new, post-Brexit world, means that connecting to the Commission, Parliament and Council will become increasingly difficult for UK companies.
With over 10 years’ experience in Brussels, Chelgate’s Irish affiliate,
Chelgate Public Affairs, can help UK organisations continue to engage with the EU. It’s Brussels office provides access not only to the EU, but also to NATO, the WHO, the ILO, World Bank, African Union as well as various UN agencies. We work with our clients to develop their strategic objectives and deliver the most effective tactics to help them shape the issues that matter to their businesses. With a specialist team in Brussels, our team offers a wealth of professional expertise. Every Chelgate Public Affairs executive has a track record of proven, relevant experience and this ensures that client business is never delegated to inexperienced or unqualified personnel.
In the UK, we are also supporting clients to help shape the UK government’s response to exiting the EU and can provide the intelligence required to help you influence future decisions on regulatory issues.

[post_content] => Chelgate’s expert political intelligence and analysis team, drawn from across all political parties, is ideally placed to offer strategic advice on all areas of policy.
We can provide analysis and summaries of policy documents – Acts of Parliament, Bills, green and white papers – boiling down lengthy, often highly complex, almost incomprehensible documents into a short report with specific analysis on how your organisation will be affected. Our expertise extends throughout the UK political spectrum, whether it is local government or Westminster, and right across Europe and in particular, the European Commission and Parliament. We have offices based in Ireland, Belgium and Romania, as well as affiliates in many other European countries.
We will provide strategic advice on what steps your organisation needs to take, what tone to strike with policy-makers and in the media, and work with you to create opportunities for dialogue with decision-makers and stakeholders. This is fundamental to formulating an integrated public affairs strategy which will ultimately deliver your objectives.

[post_content] => Party Conferences offer an unparalleled opportunity to understand and influence Government policy up to at least 2020, and possibly beyond. This year it also provides you with the ability to gain insight in to the risks and opportunities for your own business posed by Brexit.
You can put your case directly to those in power who decide, shape or otherwise influence policy that affects regulation, taxation, free markets, or even simply the tone of public debate. To have influence you need to plan, prepare, and understand your audience. Chelgate can provide you with insight and support based on years of experience. By understanding your goals we can help you make the most out of the time you invest in Conference season.
We offer a tailor-made service designed to help meet your organisation’s goals for Conference in a cost-effective manner.
Levels of service:
1) Producing a tailored Conference Plan, scheduling the most important fringe events for you to attend, providing briefings on sector specific issues and networking tips, and background information on MP’s and those with influence that you should meet. In doing so we make sure that your Conference activity is focussed and productive.
2) In addition, we can provide a series of follow-up 1:1’s following Conference season so that you and your company can build and mature those relationships that began at Conference.
3) Bespoke support for larger public affairs programmes can also be provided by Chelgate, including partnering for Fringe Events, and arranging a series of facilitated and targeted 1:1 meetings pre- and post-Conference to shape public debate.
4) Whilst attending conference can achieve some high profile ‘immediate’ results, the greatest impact in delivering your ultimate goal comes from a structured programme of activity. With our extensive Public Affairs experience we can offer a comprehensive programme, where going to one or more of the party conferences is just one of those activities, which will better deliver your strategic goals.
For all levels of service Chelgate executives will be on-hand at Conference to provide you with political advice and support, including facilitating specific introductions with key influencers.
What to expect:
- Conservative Party Conference – This year’s Conservative Party Conference will be all about Brexit and the UK’s negotiating position. 20,833 laws need to be looked at and either confirmed, changed, or put to the sword under the Government’s ‘Great Repeal Bill’. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish your narrative before a future policy direction is established. All the decision makers will be in the same place at the same time.
- Labour Party Conference – Despite leadership speculation and their current dire poll ratings the Labour Party are not a spent force in British politics. Labour still has the ability to influence the debate and apply pressure. This is especially important if the Government is going to be unsympathetic to your message or your approach requires a departure from current thinking. Also, useful to remember that the next non-Conservative administration will come from the current crop of Labour MPs.
- Scottish Nationalist Party Conference – Not just the largest party in Scotland (and heading up the Scottish Government), but also the third-largest party in Westminster and a political force not to be ignored. Increasingly the Scottish Nationalists are putting pressure on Theresa May’s Government. Their ability to influence an agenda should not be assessed solely on their Referendum campaign.

[post_content] => Chelgate’s team can provide your organisation with a unique personally tailored political monitoring service.
We do not use external monitoring providers for our political intelligence. Rather we pride ourselves on doing all monitoring in-house, with our team of dedicated public affairs experts providing comprehensive reports on Commons and Lords parliamentary debates, select committee hearings, European Parliament debates, local council meetings, and other relevant events and speeches.
With monitoring being undertaken by people familiar with your individual issues and priorities, we can guarantee relevant coverage of events rather than a general report, along with strategic advice on what response is needed.
This is a unique service, that others talk about, but one we actually deliver. For more information please
contact us.

[post_content] => Chelgate offers expert advice so that our clients can have a greater understanding of government relations and how Westminster works. We offer fully personalised and individually tailored political training service to introduce you to Parliament, Whitehall, local authorities and the EU. Training can include interactive presentations on the workings of the Houses of Parliament, the civil, the EU and its different tiers and local government. We provide analysis and insight into the top issues that affect you, and how Parliament reacts to current affairs.
Our public affairs experts can guide you through a targeted stakeholder map, and advise on the best methods of communicating with decision-makers and give guidance on political strategy tailored to your specific needs. We can focus on specific agendas, political parties, government departments or regional administrations to suit your requirements.
Additionally, if you have been summoned to appear before a select committee we can offer training and advice prior to your appearance. Chelgate’s senior public affairs team can offer you select committee training to prepare you and your organisation for this potentially difficult experience.

- Provide analysis and briefing on the political context of the inquiry
- Analyse previous hearings or other relevant inquiries
- Provide full biographical information on individual committee members
- Provide strategic analysis of the different approaches of each member of the committee
- Develop and advise on your strategy and key messages for the inquiry
- Draw up lists of likely questions to be asked and advice on the best way to response
- Liaise with the clerk of the committee and other select committee staff on your behalf
- Provide full rehearsals with Chelgate executives with full analysis and feedback on performance
- Attend the committee with you on the day providing advice where possible, and advise on follow-up activity
- Draft written submissions, appropriate correspondence and detailed follow-up material for the committee
A bad appearance before a select committee can cause irreparable damage to an individual and their corporate reputations. Chelgate’s training programme will mitigate this risk and help to put you in a position of strength going into this difficult situation.
Our public affairs service can also be provided in tandem with our media training services to offer clients and overarching public relations training service.
