Helen McCallum has joined Which? as director of policy. She has many years of heavyweight issues management under her belt, including two years as director of communications at the Department of Health.
At the Environment Agency, head of corporate comms Adrian Long has stepped into McCallum’s role, which oversees all lobbying, on an interim basis. The agency’s head of parliamentary and government relations Richard Streeter reports to the corporate affairs director.
Long has previously worked as a special adviser to former deputy prime minister John Prescott.
The Environment Agency is the leading public body for protecting and improving the environment in England and Wales, responsible for air, land and water.
The body’s 65 comms staff will be called upon in full if the well-publicised bird flu virus hits British shores, as the Environment Agency will be tasked with ensuring all poultry carcasses are disposed of safely.
