I will be travelling to London next week and am hoping to meet with prospective agencies about supporting media relations activities for the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business in London and across Europe.
If anyone can recommend a boutique firm that does an exceptional job handling higher ed or, better yet, business school media relations I would appreciate the feedback.
Many thanks!!

They focus just on education PR, and they also have a specialist for business schools working with them too. I'd be happy to put you in touch with them. They're based in St Albans which is only about 30 minutes out of the centre of London but I have no doubt they'd be happy to meet you in London (though St Albans is very nice and worth a visit). I used to have an associate-type relationship but don't any longer so I have no personal commercial interest in recommending them (if anything they position themselves as a competitor for digital work but I cannot vouch for their work in that field, am recommending them purely here as I know they do good work on media relations).
