BORDER LINES: BRUSSELS - Independents form agency

Three long-established independent consultants, each with over 15 years experience, have joined forces to create Europe Analytica with combined fees in excess of pounds 500,000. The firm draws on the PA and lobbying experience of dealing with clients such as Tesco and News International and consists of Angela Mills as chairman, David Bennett as deputy chairman and Douglas Herbison as MD. Bennett said the reason for the new company is to better compete in the consolidated market. ’We are a limited company where the directors own the shares and will spend their time dealing with clients.’
