Royal Public Affairs (RPA) is an independent public relations consultancy set up by Philip Royal in 2007. It claims to be an 'associate consultancy specialising in engaging with UK Government Policy Development.' [1]

Background

Prior to founding Royal Public Affairs, Philip Royal worked in the central London consultancy field for over 10 years, acting as Senior Public Affairs Consultant at Butler Kelly Ltd from 1997-2005 and then taking on the role of Senior Consultant at The Whitehouse Consultancy until 2007.

The firm is unique in that it has no London based office, and because of this it claims it is able to offer 'highly competitive rates'. RPA's website also assures clients that, because there are no fixed salaries at the company, 'fees will not be spent on new business projects, irrelevant activity or consultant`s `down-time`.' [2]
