Team

Our team has unrivalled expertise across all areas of investor communications and regulatory documentation.

• How long has BlackCallowDesign been around?
  The parent company Black&Callow was established in 2014 as a management buyout. But the heritage goes back further—the original company was 125+ years old, starting in producing Hansard (the daily parliamentary record). BCD specifically focuses on corporate reporting design for listed companies.
• How much experience does your team have?
  Our two directors (Chris and Tim) each have 30+ years in corporate reporting. Our department heads have 15-25 years. Combined, the team has 50+ years of expertise. Many team members have worked on 200+ annual reports.
• Who should I contact if I have questions about corporate reporting?
  Tim Black (Co-Founder and Joint MD) for reporting strategy, content consultancy, and design direction. Mark Shennan (Sales Director) for M&A communications and corporate finance. David Ward (Sales Director) for investment funds and fund administration. Tom Ireland (Associate Director, Sales) for IPOs and ESEF compliance.
• Can I speak directly to a senior person?
  Yes. We don't have a call centre. When you call, you'll reach someone who understands your query. If they can't help, they'll connect you to the right person - often a director or department head.
• Do your team members attend industry events?
  Yes. We’ve attended Company Secretary Fora, CGI Governance Conference, AIM Awards, and LSE events. We also run webinars and speak on panels. You'll often see our team quoted on best practice, regulatory changes, and reporting trends.
• What's your approach to onboarding a new client?
  Initial meeting to understand your business, current reporting setup, and challenges. We review your last report and benchmark against peers. We then provide recommendations and a proposal. If you move forward, we assign a dedicated account manager who'll lead the project and manage timelines, budget, and quality.
