We are living in dangerous times when the most informative article regarding the woman who had an affair with the Health Secretary is Wikipedia.
But with just a little digging its become very clear that there is a reason the UK news journalists did not investigate her positions with any fervour.
She is a symptom of the rotten US lobbying epidemic that has corrupted the UK to the core.
Her career.
“Coladangelo worked as a senior account manager in the campaigns division at Munro and Forster Communications before moving to the public relations and lobbying firm Luther Pendragon in 2002.[9][10] She was promoted to partner in April 2005.[10] With three other partners (Simon Whale, Amy Kroviak and Daniel Guthrie), she led a management buyout of the firm in December 2005 with the help of a £2,000,000 investment from Octopus Asset Management, a private equity firm.[10] She therefore become a director and shareholder.[9][10] She ceased to be employed by Luther Pendragon in 2014 and resigned as a director in 2017, though as of 2021 remains a shareholder.[9] As of late June 2021, she had been the marketing and communications director since 2014 at the Oliver Bonas retail chain, which was founded by her husband Oliver Tress.[11]
In June 2019 she received a parliamentary pass as a member of Hancock's staff.[12] In March 2020 she was given a part-time role as a non-executive director at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).[13] She was paid £15,000, equivalent to £1,000 a day, for her directorship on a six-month contract, although there was no public record of the appointment. As an aide to Hancock, she accompanied him to confidential meetings with civil servants.[14][15][16][17] In June 2021, it was reported that she resigned after her affair with Hancock was exposed.[18]”
From here we extrapolate the various tatters of information.
We know that she is a Lobbyist on behalf of PR firms, some of which she owns and has held very low paying positions in government for decades and offers via her PR firm government access to political mechanics.
Her firms always have Pfizer,GSK and AstraZeneca as clients.
Lets start with the juiciest Info.
Munro and Forster Communications
(Coladangelo worked as a senior account manager in the campaigns division at Munro and Forster Communications 2002)

by Adam Hill / April 04, 2003
“Founder Alison Munro is retiring, and Gunson has bought the majority share of the business she started in 1984. Today, M&F has an ethical client list including top name pharma groups such as AstraZeneca and Schering-Plough, but under Munro the agency was built on brands like Body Shop, Tie Rack, Oasis and Hugo Boss. There is little evidence of these overt lifestyle clients on the company's books now, but Gunson insists it is wrong to see M&F as a healthcare shop. 'People tend to pigeonhole healthcare as far-end pharmaceutical,' he says.
But a snapshot of the agency's work also reveals Brita Water Filters and William Levene (home of Ken Hom woks), as well as programmes for Community Care magazine and the British Liver Trust. So would it be fairer to call M&F a health specialist with a consumer focus? 'Maybe, but that definition is completely out of date,' Gunson says politely.
M&F clearly counts its issues and campaigns portfolio with the Department of Health, for example, as consumer work in the broadest sense. Here it works on childhood immunisation, drugs, social care and the 'five-a-day' fruit and veg scheme for schoolkids.
Before we get too hung up on definitions, Gunson asks MD Julie Flexen, who has led the consumer practice for nine years, to talk about what the agency's aspirations on the consumer front are now. 'We want to be marketing consumer brands positioning themselves in health or wellbeing areas, from skincare right through to food,' Flexen, who has an FMCG background with Biss Lancaster, explains. M&F's consumer health work already encompasses smoking cessation with GlaxoSmithKline, plus cold remedies Benylin and Sudafed, along with oral care and women's health with Pfizer.”
Mere coincidence surely.
Luther Pendragon
(She ceased to be employed by Luther Pendragon in 2014 and resigned as a director in 2017, though as of 2021 remains a shareholder)
In Feb 2013 , LP dropped Phillip Morris tobacco as a promise to its Pharmaceutical clients.

Article from 2014

“SThree, a specialist recruitment company for IT, banking and pharmaceuticals, admitted that only 50.5% of investors who voted at its annual meeting had backed the remuneration report. This falls to 44% if the shareholders who deliberately withheld their votes are counted.”
Why is there so much obvious corruption without any repercussions whatsoever?
Why is there no such thing as journalism? The only negative press is when the PR firms allow unconnected articles which never focus on a bigger picture.
i.e. Covid vaccines from AZ and Pfizer have been planned for 20 years to be administered to children.
The money has been paid already.
I ran out of time at this stage but I have provided enough circumstantial evidence that any journalist worth an ounce would have looked into.
Worrying times we live in.
UPDATE:
I missed the most glaringly obvious smoking gun.
Rino Coladangelo , her father.

Now comes the scary part.
When searching for her father.
“
Ms Coladangelo's father Rino Coladangelo, 70, has been Chief executive of Medix UK plc, a healthcare research organization with Pfizer and Astra ... “
But when clicking on the link.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/matt-hancock-affair-gina-coladangelo-b1872560.html
there is no such information, which means google has accidentally archived the info in the article.
Why has the independent censored their own article?
Here is some info from 1995 on Medix UK plc
https://hbw.pharmaintelligence.informa.com/MT091500/Medix-UK-launches-portable-asthma-therapy
Seems eerily like an early stage development of covid ventilators which has been shown to be worse than not treating at all.
Now he is listed at
Rephine Ltd. a pharmaceutical consultation firm.

… I think I will leave it there.
No, I won’t, the Daily Mail is the closest thing to journalism in this day and age.

and I feel like they leave a lot on the table to make your own connections.
SUPER UPDATE:
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/02/07/world/covid-19-coronavirus
In April 2021 The Pharmaceutical Companies were still in a PR war against eachother.
Sometime between then and June 2021 they started to drop the anti competitor stance.
