Who We Are…
Founded by principal consultant Helen Haxell-White, AxeSharp communications leverages over 18 years of experience in high-impact communications across various media and events.
"I have always been passionate about storytelling, which is at the heart of all my communication work," says Helen.
Helen began her career in local government before moving to London to pursue a career in parliamentary communications. She worked closely with politicians in Westminster and Brussels, managing multiple political and public affairs publications.
Building on this experience, Helen joined a PR agency specialising in the London property market and later became an international editor and journalist for a civil and military helicopter publication respectively. She then led on corporate communications and external relations for the helicopters division of a global aerospace and defence manufacturer.
In addition to her professional travels, Helen spent time exploring the world and took a career break to volunteer in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This experience deepened a passion for charity and community, which is a core value of AxeSharp communications.
AxeSharp communications provides a bespoke service built on a one-on-one relationship with a professional who has worked across sectors and developed strong communication skills and experience in public, private, in-house, and agency companies.
"When I started AxeSharp communications," Helen says, "my goal was simple: to support businesses in telling their stories with sharp and impactful messaging that cuts through the noise."
