About Boscobel & Partners

Founded in 2015, Boscobel & Partners is an independent strategic communications firm based in London.

Our expertise is providing high-level financial communications, insight and political advice to business leaders.

The Boscobel team has an outstanding track record advising clients in critical situations.

Our name is derived from the oak tree in which King Charles II once hid at the behest of his followers. It epitomises our values of integrity and loyalty to our clients.

We believe our ethos is distinctive.

In today’s fast-moving, populist and digital age, business is now expected to have both a commercial and social purpose. It also needs to be politically aware.

Politeness, empathy, moderation, creativity, insight, connectivity, thought, rigour and efficiency are our watch words. We like to work with people who feel the same.

Boscobel is home to an experienced, creative and growing team.
