Debbie Klein, CEO of Engine Europe and Asia Pacific, said: “We are thrilled Alex is joining MHP. Alex has a very sure view of how to bring together all of MHP’s skills to capitalise on the major changes we are seeing in the industry. He is one of the most respected corporate counsellors in the UK and has a proven track record of successful agency leadership. MHP has made great strides this year with the quality of work the team have been producing and the recognition it has rightfully received from its industry peers. Alex will consolidate that success and provide new drive and vision. It is going to be an exciting time.”

Alex Bigg said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining MHP. It is an agency whose fortunes I have followed over many years. I am looking forward to working with some of the smartest people in the industry to realise the agency’s full potential and to grow the business. I am also excited about working alongside the other specialist companies within the wider Engine Group, who are all leaders in their own field. It’s going to be a challenging but exciting process.”
