 Press Release - 17 February 2003 |
CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR APPOINTED
Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) has appointed Carol Barbone as campaign
director following her extensive involvement with media, communications and
planning activities for SSE since September 2002 when she first joined the
campaign as an independent consultant.
She brings with her valuable knowledge of environmental issues, pressure
groups and corporate social responsibility campaigning gained from her work
for clients including ICI, The Body Shop, Railtrack, the European
Commission, Business in the Community and several UK government departments.
Carol has over 18 years experience of campaign planning and implementation
at local, national and international level. This will stand her in
excellent stead during the coming months as the campaign steps up the pace
to challenge the government's plans for expanding Stansted Airport with the
addition of up to three more runways.
Until recently, Carol ran a Stansted-based public relations consultancy,
before which she worked as a specialist consultant to several of the UK's
top PR firms including Hill & Knowlton, GCI and Rowland. She previously
headed the Corporation of London's public relations team and led UK
communications for the European Year of the Environment.
Said Norman Mead, Stop Stansted Expansion chairman: "Carol's dynamism and
skills are a great asset to our campaign. Her appointment as Campaign
Director will give us a powerful advantage in averting the threat of extra
runways and the accompanying threat of mass urbanisation."
