Experts in communications

Vane Percy & Roberts (then Vane Percy & Associates) was launched in 1993 by Simon Vane Percy. Simon has extensive PR experience having worked across the globe for some of the world’s leading brands.

Sarah joined the business in 1994 and continued to work alongside her studies until graduating when she joined the business full time.

We have always retained our independence but have, in the past, formed strategic partnerships with major advertising and communications brands. Namely Saatchi & Saatchi and Chime Communications. For a number of years we were based at the Charlotte Street (London) offices of Saatchi & Saatchi offering a holistic offering incorporating advertising, marketing and PR services. This was targeted at the consumer health, healthcare and medical industries and branded Saatchi & Saatchi Healthcare. As part of this brand we worked on major communications campaigns including Pampers, Frontline (veterinary), Nicorette, Iams healthcare, Oil of Olay, Benecol and Coty.

In addition to working with many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies as a retained agency both Simon and Sarah have been seconded in house to support and / or lead the corporate communications department. Most notably Simon Vane Percy worked alongside Fred Hassan as Global Communications Director and Sarah Roberts was seconded to Schering-Plough and tasked with conducting a full review of their agency roster.

We are now based in Nutfield in Surrey with a team of five people. We maintain relationships with a number of other organisations including those in advertising, marketing, web development, public affairs and event management which adds value to our service and also work with a number of senior consultants who can be brought into projects which match, or require, their specific skills and experience.
