Arron Gatley
Director
Experienced political communicator interested in policy development and strategic engagement in the UK political landscape
My professional journey led me to an enriching six-year tenure within the inner workings of the UK Parliament. During this period, I had the privilege of serving as the trusted Chief of Staff to George Freeman MP.
My tenure in Parliament unfolded against the backdrop of one of the most dynamic and transformative periods in recent political history – marked by successive general elections, EU referendum, and a revolving door of Prime Ministers. In the midst of this political whirlwind, I collaborated closely with civil servants, senior government officials, and Ministers, offering my expertise in diverse areas such as political communication, strategic engagement, and policy development.
Today, I use the knowledge, experience, and insights acquired throughout this time to bring value to clients. Whether it involves devising strategies, offering guidance on policy matters, or facilitating transformative change, I am dedicated to applying my extensive background to help clients achieve objectives and navigate the complex landscape of our ever-evolving political and policy environment.
On a day-to-day basis, I ensure top-notch execution and delivery, acting as the main client contact, and championing 56° North’s core values. I enjoy nothing more than getting stuck in with the team and giving clients fresh and unique approaches to their problems.
And… I played rugby at Twickenham as part of the parliamentary rugby team. It was not only an incredible sporting experience but also gave me a chance to tackle politicians (literally) head-on.
