56° North is Consultancy of the Year 2025

  • News

We were delighted to be awarded Consultancy of the Year at the 2025 PRCA awards!

We are delighted to share that 56° North was named Consultancy of the Year at the recent PRCA Public Affairs Awards.

It’s a lovely way to be recognised for all the work we have done in the last year supporting our clients. We were up against some really brilliant consultancies from across the UK so to have taken this award home is really special.

We’re all really proud of the business we’ve built in Edinburgh, London and Newcastle, and the talented team we’ve attracted into the firm, but all this would be nothing without the faith and support of our amazing roster of clients, both present and past.

Anthony Thompson, Managing Partner said: “When we set up 56 almost five years ago, our ambition was to create a strategic comms and public affairs consultancy that makes a real difference for our clients.

“Winning this award is a proud moment, not least because it underlines the great work the team has delivered over the last year and our focus on delivering tangible results for clients.

“As we approach our fifth anniversary, we feel like we’re just getting started and there’s going to be much more to come. Watch this space.”
