CNC makes brace of London promotions

International strategic communications firm CNC has promoted former Independent on Sunday deputy business editor Simon Evans to director and Callum Laidlaw to senior consultant, respectively.

Evans joined CNC in 2012 and has worked on a number of high profile transactions and comms mandates in the banking, private equity, investment management and broking sectors. A former journalist for both the Independent on Sunday and City AM, he joins CNC’s management team in London.

Laidlaw started working with CNC in 2014 to support the development of its ‘digital IQ offering’ across Europe – which now incorporates CNC’s newly-launched cyber crime offering.

MD Oliver Mann said: “Today’s promotions are thoroughly deserved and reflect the valuable and significant contributions both Simon and Callum have made supporting the growth of the London business.

“We have enjoyed a very strong start to 2016 and we look forward to building upon this with our existing and new clients throughout the year and beyond.”
