Reform UK conference attracting bigger interest from lobbyists

LOBBYISTS are “taking Reform seriously’ with more than ever planning to attend their September conference.

- 

‘A survey for the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) found that 20% of lobbying firms planned to send staff to Reform UK’s annual conference in Birmingham.

Although many are sending smaller and more junior teams, the figure represents a sharp rise on previous years.

Last year, 12% of lobbyists attended the Reform UK conference, while just 4% went in 2022 and 2023.
