Richard Oldworth, chairman of Buchanan, said: "As well as further strengthening our core communications offer, Giles will take on the newly created role of deputy chairman. His proven experience in building teams and nurturing talent reflects Buchanan’s principles of valuing our team of talented consultants. We very much look forward to him playing a key role in the firm’s strategic growth plans."
