About us
Spanning four decades in communications
The Henley Group’s counsel is sought at a senior level, working alongside business leaders to advise on strategy and planning for a variety of communications challenges.
Clients value our intuitive PR and content marketing services, supported by the versatile skill sets of a team with backgrounds in PR, journalism, content marketing and corporate communications. They are supported by Strategic Consultants who combine years of experience at the very highest levels of business, finance, technology and healthcare.
Our core team includes directors with a minimum 15 years of experience, and technical writers with an outstanding portfolio in the trade and national press. The Henley Group is an independent agency, which means your dedicated team remains precisely that: experienced, focused and dedicated to your brand.
This approach helps us meet the exacting needs of some of the biggest global brands. These clients value our experience, expertise and our access to their target media base. Above all, they appreciate the level of transparency, communication and counsel that we offer. Judge us by the company we keep.
Global Reach
For over 40 years the Henley Group has helped organisations in the USA, Japan and further afield manage issues, target audiences and influence debates.
Drawing on our deep knowledge of the UK and European markets and the media that surround them, we have built a reputation for helping corporations from the USA and elsewhere establish operations, build a presence and develop routes to market in the UK and Europe.
Companies also call on the Henley Group to raise brand awareness in new and emerging markets. Campaigns can be scaled and range from using the UK as an engine to create and disseminate content to other countries, to calling upon the experience of the Henley Group’s network of trusted consultants on the ground.

Testimonials
The Henley Group helped raise the profile of VSG through PR activity that promoted our business successes. This certainly helped make VSG an attractive target for acquisition, and built value in advance of the successful sale of the business to Compass.
Keith Francis, Managing Director, VSG
I sincerely respect the manner in which you create a sense of friendship and support. Many people make claim to customer service, but you live it!
Michael T. Stramaglio, President, Hitachi Koki Imaging Solutions
I started using Henley in 2006. Since then I have benefitted from their PR, campaigns, product launches, and content marketing across five different businesses. Whether you are trying to break into the national press, an industry journal or a single customer, their extensive network, ‘can do’ attitude and understanding is second to none.
