Cathod Du was founded in early 2018 by Luke Holland, following a twenty year career spanning politics and communications.
Luke’s previous roles include Shadow Cabinet Political Advisor, Head of Media & Public Affairs at Hammersmith and Fulham Council, Head of Key Seats Media for UK Labour, Senior Media Advisor to the Mayor of Melbourne Port Phillip and Head of Press and Broadcasting for Welsh Labour. Having run leadership campaigns for both Huw Lewis and Yvette Cooper, Luke was losing elections but winning the argument before it was cool.
Away from Cathod Du, Luke divides his time between his unfeasibly cute daughter, an indifferent cat and more books than are strictly necessary.
