Sovereign Strategy has joined the Association of Professional Political Consultants.

The firm applied to join the self-regulatory body of the government relations industry last month, and was formally and unanimously accepted at a meeting of the APPC Committee on November 5th 2007.

Rory O’Neill, UK Managing Director, said:

“We are delighted to have joined the APPC, which has been a long-held goal of ours. We were aware that we were one of the most high-profile firms outside the APPC. I can’t thank all those who have driven this forward, both within our firm and within the APPC Management Committee, enough for their efforts. We always wanted to contribute to the debate on the future of the industry in a constructive and mature way, and for us membership is the best way to do that. We intend to be very active within the organisation and look forward to playing a leading role.”
