Home » Who we are

The Health Policy Partnership was founded in 2014 by Suzanne Wait and Ed Harding.

Having worked together for several years, Ed and Suzanne wanted to create a new, vibrant consultancy focusing on health policy research, strategy and intersectoral partnerships. HPP has since grown rapidly, building on the core research function with specialists from other areas such as editorial, communications and operations.

Our people bring insight, energy and passion to our work. We foster a collaborative environment while enabling each person to grow in their role, building on their strengths and interests. The company culture is dynamic and conscientious, and our team thrives when finding solutions to the most complex challenges.

In 2023, HPP was a finalist for the Communiqué Public Affairs and Policy Consultancy of the Year.
