Duncan Bray

Bray has been praised for his "unmatched media relations skills", and building relationships with almost every major news outlet. Within two years of joining Woodrow, he grew the EMEA team from three to 20. Highlights have included heading the worldwide 'crew change crisis' campaign for more than 400,000 seafarers stranded on ships during the pandemic. Global media coverage helped lobby the UK government to recognise seafarers as key workers, which it did in summer 2020.

Nominator says: "He delivers unmatched international press coverage at a pace most PR practitioners would envy"
