Meet the team

Rich Leigh

Rich Leigh

Founder and Director
Listed in PR Week’s 29 under 29 list and named one of ‘the brightest young social media communicators’ in the UK, Rich Leigh has a rich and varied PR background, having led award-winning campaigns and accounts at leading agencies. He founded Radioactive PR in 2014, working with brands big and small, as well as a range of personal PR clients. Rich founded and sold the UK’s #1 PR blog PRexamples.com, dedicated to the best in up-to-date PR stunts and campaigns, and wrote ‘Myths of PR’, which became Amazon’s best-selling PR book days after release.
Lydia Bryant

Lydia Bryant

PR account director
Marketing graduate Lydia joined the agency in August 2015, already with two years’ experience working across multiple consumer and B2B accounts. Lydia works across many of Radioactive’s roster of clients. With a keen eye for an angle, she’s often the first person to spot reactive opportunities.

Lydia describes her sense of humour as Dwight Schrute-like, which is no bad thing!

Angharad Planells

Angharad Planells

Head of client success
Former journalist Angharad found her way into PR after spells at the BBC, national media and commercial radio stations. Now with more than a decade in public relations, Angharad brings a wealth of experience, thanks to her work with a huge range of B2C and B2B organisations, including established brands and exciting start-ups in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, tech, ecommerce, food & hospitality, and luxury homewares. A keen writer (and talker!), Angharad still makes time to contribute to national press, lifestyle magazines and PR industry media.
Callum Gable

Callum Gable

PR account exec
Callum joined the agency just before the switch from Rich Leigh & Company to Radioactive PR, and after working through his apprenticeship, was brought on as an account exec. He is a confident voice in the room when it comes to creative ideas, and with a strong writing background, Callum has found his feet in PR very quickly.
Holly Freeman

Holly Freeman

PR senior account exec
Holly joined Radioactive PR as a paid apprentice in mid-2017, deciding against university in a bid to gain experience within PR while still studying for a qualification in digital marketing. After impressing over the year, she was offered a permanent role. She quickly found a talent for working with influencers and has a real tenacity when it comes to coverage.
Jade Beddington

Jade Beddington

Head of new business and strategy
Jade joined Radioactive PR in January 2018 and has over a decade of communications experience. She has worked with clients in many consumer and B2B sectors, including travel, food and drink, automotive, sport and not-for-profit, from small companies to global brands. Brands include Asics, Courvoisier, Continental Tyres, Converse, Mini BMW and Under Armour.
Ryan Baker

Ryan Baker

Account executive
Ryan joined Radioactive PR in March 2020, with a year under his belt spent at a travel PR consultancy. He also has a Masters in Communications, Media Practice and PR! He loves the variety that comes with PR and the fact that it is constantly changing, meaning there’s always opportunity to learn. Outside the office, Ryan dabbles in different hobbies – like guitar, fishing and surfing!
Liz Hinds

Liz Hinds

Digital PR account exec
PR masters graduate Liz has worked across a range of Radioactive clients since first joining in January 2019; most recently settling down on the digital PR side of things for the agency, doing some fantastic work internationally as well as in the UK for clients. Outside of work, Liz is an avid streamer, and continues to build an army of Twitch supporters. She’s raised a huge amount of money for charities close to her heart through her streams.
Olivia Furniss

Olivia Furniss

Digital PR account exec
Language graduate Olivia joined Radioactive in September 2020, having spent nine months working in a PR role in Berlin, working entirely in German. When not writing and pitching great work for clients, Olivia is likely to be spending time crafting (embroidery is a big love of hers,) reading Agatha Christie novels or watching makeup videos on YouTube!
Will Roberts

Will Roberts

MD, Talent
Will has worked in senior marketing roles for more than ten years, beginning his career at the UK’s leading voucher code website at the age of just 16. His experience across affiliate marketing and influencer relations makes him the perfect person to bridge the gap between traditional PR and measuring performance for clients. He has never once knowingly taken a phone call when he wasn’t pacing.
Rianne Mason

Rianne Mason

PR account manager
Rianne joined Radioactive in October 2020 when she moved from London. After leaving university in 2017 she started her career in PR and marketing and hasn’t looked back since. Rianne has a large span of experience and has worked with various hospitality, beauty, health and FMCG clients. In her spare time she enjoys cooking, eating out, travelling and occasionally some blogilates (pilates, but quicker).
