Alex Foley and Associates founder, the Hon. Alexandra Foley, has over fifteen years experience in international public relations. She spent nine years in New York working for two top agencies - Abernathy MacGregor Scanlon and Robert Marston & Associates.
During this time she worked with a diverse range of corporate clients including Bain & Company, Honeywell, Pentair, Jay Alix & Associates, John Hancock Life Insurance, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Barrick Gold. Of particular note was Foley's orchestration of three global media tours for the then Chairman and CEO of Honeywell, Michael Bonsignore, which involved travelling with him around Latin America, Europe and China.
In addition to her corporate communications work in New York, Alex Foley undertook an eight-month PR campaign for the 1996 Titanic Expedition. As the expedition's press officer she logged over 11,000 media inquiries and featured in scores of broadcasts around the world. During the expedition Foley worked closely with the Discovery Channel team who were filming the expedition.
Returning to London in October 1999, Foley became a director of Chancery Communications, a financial public relations consultancy based in Covent Garden, before founding Alex Foley & Associates Limited. The firm was founded to take advantage of Alexandra's extensive network of business and personal contacts in Europe and the U.S. Since this time, the company has represented numerous expeditions including David Hempleman-Adams Atlantic Balloon Challenges and his record-breaking trek to the Geomagnetic North Pole; Will Cross's Novolog Trek to Cure Diabetes (South Pole), Rosie Stancer's Snickers South Pole Solo Challenge and the Nordkapp 2004 Dog Sled Challenge.
