GREEN ROW COMMUNICATIONS APPOINTS CHAIRMAN

Ethical and lifestyle specialist Green Row Communications has appointed Christopher Broadbent as non executive chairman. Green Row’s current clients include Ban Bullying at work, Percol Coffee, Fairhills, the world’s largest Fairtrade wine producer, London Aware and Green Cuisine.

Helen Trevorrow, Green Row’s founder said; ‘Christopher brings a great combination of long term PR business knowledge with considerable experience of the areas of CR, and sustainability. He is very well connected in the business, political and NGO communities around these sectors, all of which will add strength and knowledge to our offering.’

‘Last year, more was spent on ethical goods and services by UK consumers than on alcohol and tobacco, at over £28bn’ added Christopher. ‘This is a great time to be specialising in this area. Add to that the sustainability agenda, which is not going to go away and any PR company knows its stuff will thrive.’

He remains on the boards of travel specialist Brighter Group and of Argyll Consultancies, the parent Kaizo.
