Clients
McEwan-Purvis does not disclose its clients on its website. Indeed it notes that 'McEwan Purvis' staff are experienced at handling sensitive issues and confidential information. Keeping pre-launch campaigns under wraps is familiar territory, as is working on market and politically sensitive projects.
We have wide experience of planning, co-ordinating and implementing product and campaign launches and working on competition cases - all of which require the greatest sensitivity and discretion.'
Nevertheless, it leaves traces on the web. Among its clients are:
- Raytheon (Arms manufacturer - makers of the bombs dropped by the US on the Baghdad market in March 2003) [1].
- Royal Pharmaceutical Society (Scottish branch) [2].
- Royal Society of Chemistry [3].
- Association for Science Education in Scotland [4].
Employees of McEwan Purvis such as Jayne Struthers have attended they the cross party group on Sexual health in the Scottish Parliament [5]. Before he was elected to parliament Jeremy Purvis attended the Scottish Parliamentary Convention on the Future of Europe on behalf of McEwan Purvis on Monday 16 September 2002. [6]
