==Brexit lobbying==

In its Brexit pitch to clients, Interel offers to ‘connect’ its lobbying clients with ‘critical Brexit decision makers’ so they can ‘shape the post-Brexit regulatory and business environment’. ‘We can identify those opportunities for you and work with you to secure positive outcomes for your business,’ it says.<ref>[http://interelgroup.com/brexit-services/ Brexit Services], Interel website, accessed October 2017</ref>

In particular, it is offering ‘engagement strategies’, which include: ‘Putting you in touch with the top influencers in the Brexit process’; ‘helping you understand the context, their agenda, their room for manoeuvre’; ‘shedding light on their personal and political objectives and motivations’; and ‘shaping strategy and messaging for impact’.<ref>[http://interelgroup.com/brexit-services/ Brexit Services], Interel website, accessed October 2017</ref>

Interel has handled public affairs work for some of the biggest names in the arms and security business, most notably [[Boeing]], [[Lockheed Martin]] and [[QinetiQ]]. Until recently its head of defence and security practice was [[Oliver Waghorn]],<ref> [http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/oliver-waghorn/41/614/95a Oliver Waghorn] Linkedin, Accessed 18 September 2014 </ref> a former special adviser to [[Liam Fox]] until scandal ended Fox's stint as a Conservative defence minister back in 2011. 
 +
 
 +
At Interel, Waghorn led on 'advising a range of defence, technology and aerospace clients on business critical issues...support[ing] major UK, US and European primes including [[Boeing]], [[Finmeccanica]] [[Lockheed Martin]], [[QinetiQ]] and [[Babcock]].<ref> [https://uk.linkedin.com/in/oliver-waghorn-95a61441Oliver Waghorn], LinkedIn, last accessed 6 September 2017 </ref>

Concern over Waghorn's access to Whitehall and Westminster whilst working for such clients at Interel saw [[Thomas Docherty]] MP ask the then Conservative defence secretary  [[Philip Hammond]] in 2013 'on how many occasions Mr Oliver Waghorn has been registered as a visitor to his Department’s main building ' since Waghorn had stopped working as Fox's adviser. Hammond replied that:
 +
: Since November 2011, there is no record of Mr Waghorn having been registered as a visitor to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) main building [...] In addition, my private office records show both Mr Waghorn and Mr Coffey attended a meeting with me in my MOD office on 3 November 2011. <ref> [https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmhansrd/chan54.pdf PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) Monday 14 October 2013] House of Commons Official Report, No 568  </ref>

Established in 1991, Interel Consulting UK (formerly Politics International) is a lobbying firm with offices in Manchester and London.

It was founded by Andrew Dunlop, or Lord Dunlop, who was until June 2017 Northern Ireland minister.He retired from Interel in 2010 to concentrate on his political work.

The firm is part of the wider Interel Group, with offices in Belgium, China, France, Germany, India, German and the USA.

Brexit lobbying

In its Brexit pitch to clients, Interel offers to ‘connect’ its lobbying clients with ‘critical Brexit decision makers’ so they can ‘shape the post-Brexit regulatory and business environment’. ‘We can identify those opportunities for you and work with you to secure positive outcomes for your business,’ it says.[1]

In particular, it is offering ‘engagement strategies’, which include: ‘Putting you in touch with the top influencers in the Brexit process’; ‘helping you understand the context, their agenda, their room for manoeuvre’; ‘shedding light on their personal and political objectives and motivations’; and ‘shaping strategy and messaging for impact’.[2]

Defence sector specialists

Interel has handled public affairs work for some of the biggest names in the arms and security business, most notably Boeing, Lockheed Martin and QinetiQ. Until recently its head of defence and security practice was Oliver Waghorn,[3] a former special adviser to Liam Fox until scandal ended Fox's stint as a Conservative defence minister back in 2011.

At Interel, Waghorn led on 'advising a range of defence, technology and aerospace clients on business critical issues...support[ing] major UK, US and European primes including Boeing, Finmeccanica Lockheed Martin, QinetiQ and Babcock.[4]

Concern over Waghorn's access to Whitehall and Westminster whilst working for such clients at Interel saw Thomas Docherty MP ask the then Conservative defence secretary Philip Hammond in 2013 'on how many occasions Mr Oliver Waghorn has been registered as a visitor to his Department’s main building ' since Waghorn had stopped working as Fox's adviser. Hammond replied that:

Since November 2011, there is no record of Mr Waghorn having been registered as a visitor to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) main building [...] In addition, my private office records show both Mr Waghorn and Mr Coffey attended a meeting with me in my MOD office on 3 November 2011. [5]

Waghorn left Interel in November 2016 to head BAE Systems's government relations unit.
