Lansons is welcoming a new board director to join the consultancy beginning 23 April. Danny Calogero joins Lansons from Peregrine communications.

At Peregrine, Calogero was a board director overseeing UK clients and business development activity in the UK in addition to providing strategic direction, campaign development, reputation management and crisis communications to clients.
