Honest Communications strengthens for future growth with new Senior Leadership Team

Leading home and garden specialist PR agency, Honest Communications, has kicked off the new year by announcing the formation of its Senior Leadership Team.

Founded by managing director Holly Daulby in 2018, the agency has bolstered the business with the promotion of longstanding employees, Fay Clarkson and Beth French.

Fay, who is one of Honest Communication’s first ever employees, holds the position of Operations and Account Director, after being promoted to the newly created role in 2024. Leading on team productivity and efficiency, Fay will continue to be the driving force behind the agency’s operations and systems, while taking on additional responsibilities around business development and agency growth.

Sitting alongside Holly and Fay, Beth has been named the agency’s first Head of Culture, will be dedicated to managing the team’s wellbeing and professional progression, as well as ensuring that the Honest values remain at the heart of the company culture as it continues to expand. In addition, Beth will head up marketing for the agency, as well taking on a more active role in new business acquisition.

Alongside these new responsibilities, both Fay and Beth will continue to oversee their client portfolios and account director responsibilities, ensuring the Honest Communications team continues to achieve stellar results for its clients. 

This strategic move comes as the business enters a phase of exciting growth, with plans to expand its team, portfolio and services in 2025. 

To support this, Honest Communications has also welcomed Jenny Carter as its newest account manager. A seasoned PR professional who brings several years of experience from her time at Greene King, Jenny will be responsible for a varied portfolio of clients in the home and garden space, including Seedball, EP Barrus, and Henton & Chattell.

Managing director, Holly commented on the announcement: “The new year marks an incredibly exciting time for Honest Communications. After experiencing continued growth over the past six years, it felt like the right time to establish our senior leadership team to set us up for the next chapter of Honest.

“Fay and Beth have been instrumental in our journey so far, and their new roles will allow us to build on this success in many ways. With Jenny joining the team too, we’re on track for great things throughout the year ahead – and beyond!”
