Industrial and service sector communications consultancy TurnerTrippick PR has added Philip Rood to its team.
Rood joins as an associate after having been head of media relations for Lockheed Martin in the UK, where he helped the company to expand its UK footprint through winning work in both defence and non-defence sectors.
He held a similar position with FTSE 250 company VT Group, as the company shifted from naval shipbuilding to offering support services in defence, nuclear power, education, training and waste.
The former journalist will contribute to TurnerTrippick’s increasing work in aerospace and defence and wider industry sectors.
