True story coming up... I was once required to work as a technical advisor alongside one of these jump up and down, arm waving, communications guys.
He told me that he had recently been sent to talk to a group of people representing the MOD. He had introduced himself as a consultant and raised the rhetorical question “What is a consultant?”
He was disarmed to find that rather than waiting for him to proceed, a somewhat old looking fellow who appeared to be dressed as ‘an admiral or something’ said “I’ll tell you!”
He said “A consultant is a man who knows absolutely everything there is to know about sex, BUT he doesn't know any girls! “

A Mr Robert Phelan appears to have joined Lendy as of March 2019 according to LinkedIn as an "Operations And Communiations Manager" (sic) so they might not be dead in the water just yet.  Not off to a great start on the communications front though with that spelling.  Update - it appears that Robert is now no longer working at Lendy. LinkedIn profile now says "open to new oppurtunities" (sic) and Lendy has been removed. Quite a busy revolving door at Lendy recently.

I'm going to steal that!
