In the latest in a series of expansions, Bell Pottinger Public Affairs (BPPA) today announces the appointment of Daniel Hamilton to run its Brussels office.

Hamilton, currently Director of high-profile campaign group Big Brother Watch, is a well regarded former Conservative Councillor. He has worked previously in public affairs as Head of European Insight at ComRes and has served as an adviser in both the House of Commons and the European Parliament. He was praised in the Total Politics Guide to the 2010 General Election for his “remarkable… encyclopaedic knowledge” of politics and has first rate connections in Westminster and Brussels.  He will join BPPA in September.

Dan Hamilton said:

“I am delighted to be joining Bell Pottinger’s first class team. I’m really looking forward to a return to Brussels, and to helping BPPA’s clients achieve even greater success.”

Peter Bingle, BPPA Chairman, said

“Dan brings a wealth of experience to our already strong team. His knowledge, skills and contacts will be a tremendous asset as our team expands, grows and develops. We are enjoying being the market leader.”
