Scotland Directorate

Arden connects clients with politics and policy across the UK, including with many of the Metro Mayors. We also have a dedicated and growing team based in Scotland.

Arden works with corporate clients across a range of sectors to ensure that their business has everything they need to be ready for the 2026 Holyrood Elections, whatever the outcome.

Our Scotland Directorate brings together a wealth of experience of former Scottish politicians, Special Advisors and senior devolved administration staffers with real-life knowledge, insight and understanding of Scotland’s policies, people and politics.

We support clients by providing:

  • Detailed stakeholder mapping and analysis of government and opposition including of senior political staff and government officials.
  • Support for clients as they build new relationships in an everchanging political landscape.
  • Deep dive sessions delving into the current constituency and regional list representatives – and our expert analysis of where changes are likely to take place at the next Scottish elections.
  • Sessions analysing the policy plans, political motivations and personalities of each Party.
  • Political monitoring paired with insightful analysis of the latest developments.
  • Analysis which demystifies the main parties’ policy making processes and manifesto development.
