Don has spent the previous three years in the corporate communications space of some of the UK’s largest infrastructure providers. These included the largest water and sewage supplier in the UK, Thames Water and the national rail infrastructure owner and maintainer, Network Rail.

Don returns to Socom with a passion for major public projects and corporate reputation management. As a key part of the major projects team within Network Rail, Don gained a breadth of experience across media, public affairs, branding and community relations around a major construction project. This was done in the context of a reputation building exercise for the organisation in the case of both Network Rail and Thames water, where protection and rebuilding trust in their brands was imperative.

Prior to his work overseas, Don started his career with Socom, working across a range of fields including project communications such as the Gippsland Water Factory, as well as government and community relations.
