Principles

Everything we do is founded on the principles of openness, honesty and integrity. When engaging with the media, elected representatives and members of the community:-

  • We are always transparent about how we conduct our business.

  • We make sure our engagement procedures are clear and stand up to scrutiny when our clients are addressing sensitive issues.

  • We are open about who we represent and why we want to talk to you.

  • We are accurate about our client proposals and only provide factual information on behalf of clients, approved by a senior company representative

  • As a regulated public affairs practice, working with Invicta gives you the confidence that your business interests will be protected while we help you engage with Government, elected representatives, communities and the media.

  • Invicta is fully compliant with the UK Government Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists and the Scottish Parliament Lobbying Register. We are also committed to complying with a Lobbying Register should that be introduced in Wales following their consultation.
