Brevia Consulting is a lobbying consultancy, previously known as 'Politics Direct' until December 2011.

Rebranding

Brevia is derived from the Latin verb 'to abbreviate' - apparently reflecting the agency's ethos of being straight-talking, quick and precise. Brevia MD David Beamer said: 'I expected to be presented with a shortlist of London streets or squares, but Figtree felt a descriptive name was the right choice.'[1]

People

PoliticsDirect employs a number of influential political figures including the former Conservative MP Steven Norris and Peter Kellner, chairman of YouGov. It was co-founded by John Arnold and David Beamer who had backgrounds in the Labour and Conservative Parties respectively. Arnold is a former Chair of Scottish Labour Students, a former Adviser to the Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland. Co-founder David Beamer was a senior political adviser to the Conservative Party and worked with eight Secretaries of State on a range of policy briefs including Trade & Industry, Energy, Transport, Culture, Media & Sport, Deregulation and Health. Associate George Hall was also EU issue manager on eCommerce in the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue.

The firm also groups together a number of consultants who were formerly journalists and have other business interests including in public relations.
