no nonsense. no lobbying. straight talking advice.
Kempock helps organisations navigate politics.
Not as an abstract concept — but as it actually works in practice.
Government, parliament and political pressure rarely behave the way they are described in reports. We deal with the reality.
Whether you're engaging with Holyrood for the first time, seeking strategic political advice, or responding to urgent political pressures, we provide honest counsel grounded in real-world experience.
No spin. No drama. No nonsense.
Just clear advice from someone who has been in the room.
How we can help
PLAN AHEAD
Political problems are much easier to manage before they become political problems.
We help organisations understand the landscape, identify opportunities, anticipate risks and engage effectively with decision-makers.
Know when to engage. Know how to engage.
REACT FAST
Politics rarely arrives with warning.
A committee appearance. Media scrutiny. Stakeholder backlash. Ministerial questions. A fast-moving issue gathering momentum.
When things move quickly, experience matters more than theory.
Clear thinking. Honest advice. Practical support.
THE PERSON AT THE END OF THE PHONE
Sometimes you need strategy.
Sometimes you just need someone at the end of the phone to tell you what they really think.
That’s Kempock.
Straight-talking advice from someone who has seen how politics actually works from the inside.
The advice you need to hear, not the advice you want to hear.
What sort of “advice” do you offer?
Fair question.
Whether you're planning ahead or responding to events as they unfold, Kempock provides practical political advice grounded in real-world experience.
We call it Proactive Strategy and Reactive Advisory. Most clients need a bit of both.
PROACTIVE STRATEGY
Helping organisations understand and respond to the political environment before issues arise.
What we do:
• Political landscape mapping and horizon scanning

• Budget, Programme for Government and legislative monitoring
• Consultation responses and evidence submissions
• Committee engagement and scrutiny processes
• Policy development and manifesto influencing
• Insight into devolved government and decision-making
• Advice for organisations, agencies and senior leaders dealing with Scottish politics
Knowing when to engage matters.
Knowing how to engage matters more.
REACTIVE ADVISORY
When politics comes at you unexpectedly, experience matters.
What we do:
• Crisis counsel and rapid political advice
• Parliamentary committee preparation and Q&A support
• Media and scrutiny response
• Political messaging and rebuttal advice
