CNC expands London team

CNC Communications & Network Consulting, a member of MSLGROUP, has made two strategic hires in its London office with the appointment of Richard Rigby and Riku Heikkila, who join as consultant and senior associate, respectively.

Rigby, a specialist in reputation restoration, media and public affairs campaigns following periods of crisis or significant change, joins CNC from Weber Shandwick, where he previously served as an account director. Heikkila, a corporate communications specialist, will focus on CNC’s professional services, after working for four years at FTI Consulting.

CNC specialises in corporate and financial communications, crisis and change communications, public affairs, and digital comms. With more than 140 staff, CNC has 11 offices across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Oliver Mann, CNC managing director, said: “Today’s announcement that Richard and Riku are joining our team in London underlines the great start CNC has made in 2016. We continue to grow by developing a strong team of diverse talents and skills, while successfully building out our corporate and financial practice.”
