A former deputy Prime Minister has taken up a role as a senior consultant at a High Wycombe-based marketing agency.
Dominic Raab, who was second in command on two occasions, the first with Boris Johnson and the second with Rishi Sunak, is now employed by PLB Limited which is based along Gordon Road in the town.
Dan Hawley, CEO of PLB, commented, “Dom’s appointment is a testament to our vision and ambition.
“His strategic insight and leadership experience will not only enhance the value we deliver to our existing clients but also position us to seize new opportunities and drive innovation in new markets.”
Raab was born in Buckinghamshire and spent a large part of his youth in Gerrards Cross.
He also attended Dr Challoner’s Grammar School in Amersham as a teenager.
In politics, he was appointed deputy PM in September 2021 by Johnson and held the role for one year.
Following Johnson’s exit in 2022, Raab also left his role but regained it six weeks later.
During that period, Liz Truss took over as PM and put Therese Coffey in the role, but the duo resigned 49 days later.
Sunak was then sworn in as the leader of the United Kingdom and reappointed Raab, who held the position until April 2023.
Speaking on his new job, he said: “It’s a privilege to join PLB at such an exciting moment in its journey.
“I’ve been greatly impressed by Dan’s leadership, the team’s talent and commitment, and the company’s aspiration for growth.
“I look forward to supporting PLB’s expansion and helping drive its success in the years ahead.”
Katie Baker, Managing Director of PLB, added: “We’re so excited to welcome Dom to the team.
“His wealth of experience and alignment with our values make him an invaluable addition as we continue to expand and innovate. We know his involvement will bring immense value to our clients, partners, and team.”
