JBP Communications

Founded in 1984 and based in South Gloucestershire near Bristol, JBP Associates works across rural economy, energy, local and regional government, logistics and transport, property and infrastructure, and telecoms. The consultancy pairs communications work with political affairs and stakeholder engagement, reflecting a client base that often needs to navigate regulatory or public-interest scrutiny alongside standard brand and media coverage.

Services span media relations, corporate communications, thought leadership PR, crisis communications, brand strategy and positioning, event strategy, social strategy and content strategy. Leadership includes founder director Jennifer Bryant-Pearson, managing director Chris Lawrance with more than 35 years' experience, director of public affairs Jonathan Simpson with over 25 years in the field, and director of strategic engagement James Hinchcliffe, giving the agency depth in both political affairs and day-to-day account delivery.

Recent work includes securing UK coverage for the 2026 Alzheimer's Association International Conference, research on accelerating the UK electric vehicle market through communications and engagement, and government funding support for broadband provider Wildanet through Project Gigabit. Other projects include positioning First Group as the smartest way to travel, taking Palletways Group to market leader status across Europe, establishing the UK's largest tobacco harm reduction event, and backing Oxford United's new stadium campaign. Film and content work has covered a resident-led piece for the Bridge Park leisure centre redevelopment, Linde Material Handling's next-generation forklift, Zimbl's online proposition, and a commemorative coin marking Princess Anne.
