He is currently working to develop a communications toolkit that will support a consistent approach to promoting psychological wellbeing services for staff and volunteers in emergency service organisations across Victoria.

Alan’s work has been awarded overseas and in Australia, and has featured in two European industry publications. He was part of the Fenton team recognised by the Public Relations Institute of Australia’s Golden Target Awards for the Tasmania’s Biggest Job campaign and more recently was commended for his work on the Rise and Recharge campaign.
