Our small but perfectly formed team at Nielsen McAllister is one that you can always rely on to deliver results.
Together, we’re PR, media and marketing experts. We’re journalists, writers and creative thinkers. We work really hard for our clients, we take time to understand how our clients operate and what their objectives are – and we love what we do.
Managing Director
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.
Director
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.
