About

Alan is a political and communications expert with a decade of experience in media, public relations, and public affairs. He began his career as a press officer and researcher in the Scottish Parliament and has gone on to work for the UK Government in Whitehall and two of Scotland’s top PR and public affairs agencies. 

He is also a widely published columnist, contributing to The Scotsman, Times, Press and Journal, and Courier. Alan publishes a regular column in the Scottish Daily Express. 

In 2024, Alan founded Alan Grant Communications - a new type of agency, committed to giving clients the words they need and none of the rubbish they don’t. 

He hates jargon and wasted words. If you find long meetings, huge documents, or technical waffle comforting - he’s probably not the consultant for you. If you want results, he invites you to get in touch.
