Financial News Senior Editor Jeremy Adams Joins ECD Insight
25 October 2004

(London) - Jeremy Adams, investment banking editor at Financial News, is set to join the international corporate communications consultancy ECD Insight as a partner based in the group's London office.

Mr. Adams, who begins work on Oct. 25, will focus on advising and coaching senior business people on their communication with shareholders, investment analysts and the media. With offices in London, New York and Paris, ECD Insight has a strong reputation in corporate message development, which Mr. Adams will further strengthen.

Mr Adams said: "In the wake of a series of business scandals the media, shareholders and employees are making increased demands for information and answers. Effective communication matters more than ever.

"ECD Insight has built up a formidable reputation as a source of sound communications advice to business leaders, notably at some of the world's highest profile financial services firms. It's a privilege to be joining such a well-regarded team," Mr. Adams added.

Mr. Adams worked at Financial News for four years and before becoming investment banking editor, he was the newspaper's US correspondent. While there he covered major Wall Street stories including regulatory reform and the aftermath of the dot-com bubble. Previously Mr. Adams, 32, covered leveraged finance and emerging markets debt for International Financing Review (IFR). He started his career as a capital markets and corporate finance reporter for Euromoney's Corporate Finance magazine.

"Jeremy is one of the most-respected journalists in The City and having him on the team will be a great benefit to our clients," said Glenn Whitney, ECD Insight's managing partner. "He combines an incisive mind and tenacious interviewing skills with an excellent sense of humour. We are all greatly looking forward to working with him."

ECD Insight was founded in 1998. Since then, it has won a leading share of the financial communications coaching market, working for several of the world's top financial services companies from its offices in London, New York and Paris. The firm specializes in advising and preparing companies for presentations to shareholders and analysts as well as interviews with the print media and for TV appearances.
