Commenting on the launch of the Abu Dhabi office, Kate Delahunty said: “The Middle East, strategically located between developed markets in Europe and burgeoning economies in Asia, is of great importance and we see exciting areas of opportunity across the region. We have built our reputation globally by offering high-level strategic communications advice and support to governments, corporates and the financial community and look forward to extending this to clients in Abu Dhabi.”  

Fran McElwaine sees Abu Dhabi as an important regional hub: “The new Abu Dhabi office will be integral to our future growth and success. As the global economic and political climate rapidly evolves, clients in the region face the challenge of addressing more varied and complex stakeholder groups. We look forward to supporting our clients in Abu Dhabi as they address these challenges, working with them to engage in meaningful dialogue with all parties and manage critical communications challenges.”
