It is with great sadness that we report the death of our former colleague and founding director of Context, Craig Coward on July 26th 2025, after a six year battle with cancer.

He joined the business in 1992 and in that time he was responsible for some incredible work, most notably in areas like cyber security PR, where he was one of the pioneers in the mid-nineties. He was a formidable operator and was loved in equal measure by colleagues, clients and journalists, especially those who shared his love for music.

Possibly his most lasting contribution was in mentoring new starters in the world of PR, many of whom have gone on to have successful careers, thanks to his knowledge and patience.
