Our Team

With over a decade in market access and value communications – and wanting to build a truly people-focused agency – Nick founded redthread in early 2020.

Before redthread, Nick worked across a broad range of global and in-country access and communications initiatives. From payer value propositions and global value dossiers to advanced budgetary notifications and in-field materials, and everything in between. If it’s value communications or market access, Nick’s written it.

His niche is in finding clear payer stories where others can’t, and in providing strategic and communications support for UK market access team (particularly in haematology and oncology). Supporting global and UK teams in navigating the pre-launch period (from pivotal trial protocol sign-off to reimbursement) is another area where Nick particularly enjoys supporting clients.

When he’s not advising clients, or supporting his team, Nick’s a keen runner and an avid potter (ceramics, not magic!). And while words are easier to control than flux and glazes, it’s a welcome opportunity to express some visual creativity away from PowerPoint.

Emma joined redthread as a Project Manager in 2022, bringing over 5 years’ experience in managing workloads over multiple busy teams. She focuses on making sure our writing and consulting teams have everything they need to deliver our signature blend of brilliant writing and market access expertise for our clients. She also makes sure that our clients are kept up to date on timelines, so they never have to wonder when the next deliverable might be landing in their inbox (or SharePoint folder).

When she isn’t co-ordinating behind the scenes, Emma loves curling up on the sofa with her cat for a TV series binge, and when the Scottish weather allows going for walks around her local area…mysteriously these walks all seem to finish in a cake shop!
