Newgate Communications is a PR and lobbying agency based in the United Kingdom, owned by Porta Communications and David Wright.
Background
The agency was founded by David Wright, an ex-founding director of Citigate, in 2011.
Newgate Communications is part of the Porta Communications group, also set up by David Wright in 2010.
The name of the communications group seems to link with the many staff who have swapped Citigate for Newgate including Jonathan Clare (another ex-founding director of Citigate and Deborah Saw). [1] [2]
In November 2014 Porta Communications bought PPS Group for £6.2million, paid for in a combination of cash and shares in Porta Communications and merged it with Newgate. The deal meant Stephen Byfield, the managing director of PPS Group, is the new head of Newgate's London and Brussels practices.[3]
