The Observer

July 06, 2025

This is an interesting moment to be trying to sell a public relations firm, as Matthew Freud is reportedly doing with his eponymous communications shop.

Freud has been prompted to seek a buyer, it is said, by receiving unsolicited offers for the company he founded in 1985, and by a desire to secure its long-term future. He has recruited his old friend, former chancellor George Osborne, now affiliated to the boutique bank Robey Warshaw, to help find Freud Communications a good home.
