Since becoming Head of Communication for the newly formed Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy in 2016, Penny has developed an internal communication operation recognised across Whitehall for its success in supporting top leadership and in delivering year-on-year improvements in engagement. It’s also become a hotbed for developing talent and has a reputation for being a fun team to be a part of.
With a largely private sector background, Penny is passionate about adopting a client-facing approach to internal communication. A former management consultant, she takes an integrated approach to managing change communication as part of the core internal comms role.
