A team you can trust

With over 30 years’ PR experience, Bob is a true industry expert. Having worked both in-house (for companies such as Grants of St James’s) and for agencies (including Kingsway PR, which became part of Saatchi and Saatchi), he has implemented many PR campaigns for clients ranging from Nestlé to Tarmac.

Since founding Nielsen McAllister in 1990, Bob has established an enviable list of contacts. He has gained particular respect in the packaging and associated media, and is very proud to have retained his first two clients to this day.

Outside the office Bob formerly enjoyed treading the boards in AmDram, but since putting away the greasepaint he has taken up squash and golf – albeit rather badly.

Simon is a creative and commercially successful CIM-qualified marketer with over 25 years’ experience within the global packaging, security and communications markets.

A clear, strategic thinker with a passion for long-term business development, Simon is focused on helping clients deliver business growth using his strategic planning and communications experience.

Beyond the world of Nielsen McAllister, Simon enjoys dragging his reluctant children around the Peak District on long walks as well as socialising with friends and family.

With a background in business development, marketing and inward investment, Tom brings a wealth of experience to the team.

Having spent 10 years working with the property, retail, leisure and legal sectors, Tom has a passion for building relationships and taking a proactive and creative approach to work, devising new and innovative events, promotions and strategies for growing businesses. Tom has worked on press releases, awards submissions and thought leadership throughout his career. He has a drive to explore how to do things differently and likes to take a strategic view on matters.

Away from work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and son, in addition to his involvement with Bustler Market, an award-winning street food market he founded in 2017. He is also a passionate Derby County fan and can often be found at Pride Park Stadium, hoping to see a win for The Rams.
