Finnish business link for Altrincham-based Duo Consulting

Strengthening business links between Finland and the UK has taken a step further as Altrincham-based Duo Consulting becomes an expert member of the British and Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce in Finland (B3CF).

The move builds on Duo’s strong experience in supporting growing international businesses to land and expand in the UK market and capitalises on Associate Director Will Stone’s depth of knowledge working with Finnish companies. Duo is a senior-led consultancy specialising in corporate, B2B and tech strategic communications and PR.

BC3F has been committed to building, strengthening and sustaining business between Finland, the United Kingdom and the rest of The Commonwealth since its establishment in 2008.

Duo has worked with companies in Australia, Germany, and the United States on profile raising as part of their UK and European business growth plans. With a senior consultative approach, the agency helps executive, marketing, and comms leaders understand their target audiences and stakeholders, tailor their story and messaging for the market, and build profiles across key media and other channels.

Duo’s Founding Director, Dan Sheridan, commented: “Our work with the UK and international clients means we’ve established ourselves as a go-to PR and communications consultancy for ambitious international businesses launching and growing in the UK. Finland is known for its leadership in innovation, whether technology or sustainability, so our team is excited to work with the B3CF community.”

Duo’s Associate Director, Will Stone, was Head of Communications UK & Ireland for UPM, a EUR 9.8bn Finnish forestry industry company with operations in renewable and recyclable products, including biofuels, biochemicals and paper making. He also worked with Finnish-based businesses as a consultant, including a wireless charging start-up.

Vladislav Dobrokhotov, Executive Director of the B3CF, added: “Duo’s international expertise and passion for helping businesses to grow through strategic communications and PR makes them an ideal partner to our members. We at B3CF share the ambitions of our members in the building, strengthening and sustaining business between Finland, the United Kingdom and the rest of The Commonwealth.

“We look forward to seeing the collaboration grow between our members and Duo. Experts like Duo will continue to drive momentum to achieve our mission.”

Duo will also provide member education through workshops and insights as part of B3CF’s event programme. The member-led organisation also calls upon an international advisory board comprising current and former Ambassadors.
