Angel Trains, the UK-based train rolling stock asset manager, has appointed Grayling to handle its corporate communications programme in the UK.

Grayling will run a six figure integrated corporate communications and public affairs programme for Angel. The appointment is in addition to the public affairs programme which Grayling has already been running for Angel Trains since 2011. The two campaigns will be fully integrated to provide Angel Trains with communications support to all of its key stakeholder groups.

The account will be led jointly by Richard Jukes, managing director of Grayling’s Public Affairs practice and Mary Whenman, managing director of Grayling’s Corporate & Financial team. 

Jukes said: “We’ve been working with Angel Trains successfully for a number of years on a Public Affairs programme, the incorporation of Grayling’s Corporate and Financial offering will provide Angel Trains with a more rounded and strategic communications programme.”

Whenman said: “The Public Affairs team have laid strong foundations for a wider communications programme and we look forward to working with Angel Trains to communicate the strategic importance of the business to both the UK rail industry and the economy at large.”
