Andy Carter: External affairs specialist

Group head of news | Comms consultant

BBC | Sky News | Leeds City Council | Northumbria University at Newcastle

I am CMP’s external affairs specialist, and as award-winning communications professional I have significant experience working at a very senior level in both the public sector and higher education.

My skills include media relations; internal, crisis and stakeholder communications; and web and social media and consultation and engagement. In the past, I used my extensive digital, social media and video and audio podcasting skills to help a major UK utility company improve its customer communications.

I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations and the Public Relations and Communications Association, and director of my own PR, communications and broadcast consultancy.

I am currently working in local government in northern England.

I am a former broadcast journalist with more than 16 years’ experience with the BBC, Sky News and several other media groups.

I also offer coaching services through my own businesses, and support colleagues across the public sector.

I am also CMP’s tutor in PR and social media marketing, the college’s career mentor, and chair of trustees for a charity based in Leeds.
