Oliver Foster

Chief Executive

Oliver co-founded Pagefield in 2010 after a decade working inside British and European political institutions, industry trade bodies, and high-profile listed companies. He is an integrated campaigning specialist, with over 25 years’ experience protecting, promoting and rebuilding corporate reputations through a combination of public affairs, public relations and crisis communications. During that time, he has built close and lasting relationships with people from across the political divide, within the media, and throughout the business and charitable sectors.

Before Pagefield, Oliver led ITV plc’s public and stakeholder affairs efforts to free the company from legacy regulation that was hindering its chances of success in the digital age – the fruits of which are now being enjoyed by the company. Oliver performed similar integrated campaigning roles at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the UK Film Council, and the Society of Motor Manufacturers. Earlier on in his career, Oliver worked in the UK Government civil service, following a year as an assistant to a British MEP in Brussels and Strasbourg.

As Pagefield Group’s Chief Executive, Oliver has overseen the company’s rapid growth to become one of London’s go-to consultancies for integrated communications across multiple sectors – including fintech and tech, professional services, transport, property, infrastructure, FMCG, and the charitable sector. In 2024, he led the process which resulted in Pagefield’s acquisition by the international communications group, PPHC; he now sits on PPHC’s Management Board; and in early 2026, he successfully merged Pagefield with the economics and policy consultancy, WPI Strategy.

Oliver is a Freeman of the City of London and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers; is one of Mace Magazine’s top 100 political pr consultants; features in the annual PR Week Power Book; and sits on a range of boards, including the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), the University of Durham, and the Advisory Board of Omaze.
