Samuel McFarland
Associate Consultant
A strategic communicator and public affairs professional with a passion for Scottish politics
As an Associate Consultant, I’m focused on supporting clients to craft clear messaging that helps enhance and define their reputation, and respond to change. With an interest in Scottish and UK politics, I also enjoy the chance to support businesses to navigate the complex parliamentary environment by building engaging and impactful campaigns.
I have previous experience in engaging with Parliament and the Scottish Government, and a particular interest in projects which focus on long-term investment into communities.
Prior to joining 56, I was an intern at the Scottish National Investment Bank, where I worked on supporting political engagement, communications and strategic planning. I’m looking forward to bringing the experience I gained engaging with partners across the public and private sector in this role to supporting my client work at 56.
And… A world leader once dropped a fork on my shoe – thankfully they found it funny!
