Valneva, Almeida Building
Scotland’s largest vaccine producer Valneva has renewed its contract with Glasgow-based communications consultancy, Perceptive Communicators, for ongoing strategic communications support. Perceptive will continue to provide a range of public relations and stakeholder engagement services to support Valneva’s commercial goals and its impact in Scotland’s life sciences sector.
Valneva Scotland has made significant advances in the biotechnology sector with its innovative vaccines targeting infectious diseases manufactured at its state-of-the-art GMP manufacturing site in Livingston.
This renewal follows a successful first year of collaboration between Valneva Scotland and Perceptive Communicators. The partnership will aim to enhance Valneva’s communications strategy, elevating its profile both in Scotland and across the UK.
David Ridd, Head of Communications and Corporate Relations UK at Valneva, said: “Perceptive’s knowledge of the life sciences sector, combined with their strong media relationships, have been invaluable in helping elevate our profile and highlight the successes of our teams and their vital contributions to the Scottish life sciences sector.”
Glasgow-headquartered communications consultancy Perceptive Communicators supports clients working across science, technology, the built environment and leisure who are improving lives and transforming futures every day.
This latest appointment follows Perceptive’s highly successful start to 2025 in the life sciences sector, with the addition of leading biotechnology scale-up Remora to its client roster earlier this year.
Julie Moulsdale, Managing Director of Perceptive Communicators, said: “One of our main points of difference at Perceptive Communicators is our focus on delivering high-quality, meaningful results that align directly with our client's business goals, always aiming to enhance growth and success. We’re also laser focused on just a few sectors which means we have the deep insight and invaluable connections to hit the ground running. Valneva is an amazing organisation which continues to grow by improving lives every day, so it is a great partnership.”
