Hackney Council has appointed James Flynn as its deputy head of
communications.
Flynn will join from Newham Council where he is communications
officer.
He replaces James Odling-Smee, who left to join the Local Government
Information Unit in July (PR Week, 24 July). Flynn will take up the new
position next month, overseeing a team of seven and reporting to
Hackney’s head of communications Marina Pirotta. Previously, Flynn
worked for three years on London Underground’s Jubilee Line extension
project.
