THE DIRECTORS
The founders and directors of MHW – Alasdair Mitchell, Wayne Halton and Ian Watson – are three of the most experienced PR practitioners in North East England.
While they established MHW (Mitchell Halton Watson) in 2000, they have worked in PR consultancy for many years before that, delivering integrated campaigns for private and public sector clients.
All three have strong media backgrounds and knowledge with two of the directors having worked directly in the press at regional and national specialist levels.
Today they have multi-layered connections across the region as well as sector specific contacts and expertise.
