Britain’s largest trade union for managers and professionals, the
Manufacturing Science and Finance Union, has appointed Miles Webber as
its new head of campaigns and communications.
Webber replaces Hilary Benn who left MSF to become a special adviser to
Secretary of State for Education David Blunkett.
The union is currently interviewing for the head of research post and
Webber’s redefined role comes as part of an audit of the communications
functions.
’Communications is moving up the agenda,’ said Webber, who was
previously political director for corporate and political agency
LSA.
Webber said he expects in the long term to seek external help in
creating a new brand for the 460,000 member union.
