# Kitchen Table Partners Limited
Kitchen Table Partners is a boutique communications advisory firm founded in 2015 by David Yelland, a seasoned strategist with an exceptional track record spanning journalism and senior PR roles. Based in London, the firm advises high-profile individuals and business leaders globally on navigating complex communications challenges during critical moments.
The firm serves C-suite executives, entrepreneurs and prominent figures across all sectors who face reputational challenges, require strategic positioning or need to effect change in their respective fields. They work with clients willing to take bold, authentic approaches to their communications challenges.
What distinguishes Kitchen Table Partners is Yelland's dual expertise. His 18-year journalism career—including five years as Editor of The Sun and senior posts at the New York Post—provides genuine understanding of media dynamics and public scrutiny. His subsequent 16 years at world-leading PR firms (nine years as Partner at Brunswick Group, two years as Senior Vice Chairman at Weber Shandwick) brings sophisticated strategic counsel.
The firm's philosophy centres on authenticity, simplicity and courage. Rather than offering generic solutions, they encourage clients to communicate plainly and honestly. Yelland rarely advises anything he hasn't personally experienced, understanding acutely what it means to lead publicly and weather reputational challenges.
They work collaboratively, often for extended engagements, leveraging a robust network of established contacts whilst frequently inviting clients to speak confidentially with past clients as references. This relationship-driven, bespoke approach—reflected in their name's kitchen table metaphor—sets them apart from larger, impersonal agencies.
