Anne Geddes

With more than 25 years’ experience across marketing and communications, I’ve worked both in-house and agency-side across legal services, professional services, education, technology, retail and the charity sector. Before joining Fletchers, I held senior communications and marketing roles with other organisations, as well as running my own communications consultancy.

Throughout my career, I’ve helped organisations build their profile, strengthen their reputation and engage effectively with their audiences through strategic communications, PR and marketing. I’ve delivered campaigns and programmes for high-profile organisations. My experience includes a CIPR PRide Award-winning campaign, being part of a team recognised as PR Agency of the Year, and supporting communications activity linked to major events such as the Commonwealth Games and Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture.

At Fletchers, I’ve played a key role in strengthening the Group’s profile and reputation, supporting its growth ambitions and helping position the business as one of the UK’s leading specialist law firms.

I enjoy working for an organisation that has a genuine impact on people’s lives. At Fletchers, we help people through some of the most challenging periods they will ever face, and I’m proud to play a role in supporting that mission. Using communications and PR to raise awareness of the work we do, champion our colleagues and clients, and strengthen our reputation is what makes the role so rewarding.

What makes the team special is that they genuinely care. They are passionate about what they do, knowledgeable in their areas of expertise and not afraid to speak their minds.

I’ve enjoyed an incredibly varied and rewarding career at Fletchers. What I enjoy most is the breadth of the role – from shaping strategic corporate communications and supporting business growth, to delivering consumer-facing campaigns that tell powerful stories and showcase the difference we make to clients’ lives. The complexity and pace of the work means there is always a new challenge to tackle, whether that’s supporting acquisitions, managing reputation, influencing stakeholders or engaging colleagues. I’ve also been fortunate to build and work alongside a talented team of communications specialists whose expertise, passion and commitment make every success a shared one. As a single mum, I particularly value the flexibility and trust that Fletchers provides, which has enabled me to develop my career while maintaining a healthy balance between work and family life.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mum to a sports-mad son, which means weekends are often spent on the touchline of a football pitch or beside a cricket field. When I’m not cheering him on, I enjoy keeping active, cooking and spending time with family and friends. In a previous life, I represented Scotland at hockey, and while those days are behind me, I still enjoy sport and healthy competition. I can also play the accordion – a hidden talent that doesn’t get much use these days but always makes for an interesting conversation starter.
