A quick biog

The Other Place is run by me,  Carys Davis, a public affairs consultant and trainer with eighteen years' experience in politics and public affairs. I've worked, consulted and trained for businesses, trade bodies, regulators, charities and universities.

Before setting up The Other Place, I worked for:

• two front-bench MPs as a caseworker/campaigner and Parliamentary Researcher
• a UK political party as a Policy Adviser on the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs portfolio
• the leader of the Maldivian Democratic Party, as a political consultant 
• two charities, running their public affairs functions
• the Financial Conduct Authority as its Public Affairs Manager.

And before entering the world of politics I was a waitress, cleaner, bartender and  TV production assistant.

I trained as a broadcast journalist at postgraduate level and hold an MA (Distinction) in Human Rights.

Likes: animals, cricket, solo holidays, adding cardamom to coffee.

Dislikes: dodgy grammar, nesting tables, Ed Sheeran, dangling.
