LAUNCHING JUNE 2026
I’m Andy Downton, a UK-based media consultant specialising in crisis communications, executive media and presentation development, and strategic communications support.
With a background in broadcast journalism and as a former NHS Head of Media, I bring practical, real-world experience to helping organisations communicate clearly and confidently under pressure.
Alongside my consultancy work, I also create travel content focused on smart, honest trips from the North West of England.
I help organisations prepare for and respond to high-pressure situations, ensuring messaging is clear, coordinated and credible.
I work with senior leaders to help them communicate clearly, handle difficult questions and stay on message under pressure. Sessions are practical, tailored to real scenarios and delivered in a supportive, constructive environment.
I support organisations to develop or refine communications strategies, align messaging across teams and ensure communications activity supports wider organisational priorities.
I work with in-house communications teams to strengthen how they operate day-to-day, drawing on my experience leading NHS media functions and working within fast-moving, high-pressure environments.
I design and deliver realistic, engaging exercises that test communications and media response within wider incident scenarios.
