Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority
Su昀昀olk Coastal Port Health Authority (SCPHA) sees frequent media coverage about
its work in protecting public health and animal welfare, with its Communications
and Marketing Lead writing regular press releases, arranging interviews, overseeing
media visits, and creating online content.
Having established itself as a vital part of public and animal health in the eyes of
policymakers, importers, and the general public, SCPHA aims to bring awareness
to the importance of stringent checks at the border through public relations, while
continuing to rea昀케rm its position as a leading authority.
Communications and Marketing Lead also hosts the quarterly Port Health
Stakeholder Forum to unite the logistics community for insight into port health,
while the Business Team as a whole regularly visits schools and colleges to educate
future generations about the role of port health. This includes our ongoing industry
partnership with Su昀昀olk New College.
