Richard Barton, Newgate’s managing partner for Greater China, said, “Since our launch in Hong Kong in January 2013 we have made strong inroads into the Mainland China market across our corporate, financial and public affairs practices.”

Newgate Communications, part of the group, has opened an office in Beijing, China. The leading international strategic communications consultancy added it has appointed David Schlesinger and Tom Grimmer as senior advisors to Newgate in Greater China, while Newgate Hong Kong partner Grace Zhang will act as the head of Newgate’s new Beijing office, further developing its growing business in mainland China.

“Grace Zhang has a strong track record in advising both local and multinational corporate clients and will drive forward our development in Beijing,” said Richard Barton, Newgate’s managing partner for Greater China.

“As we continue to hire in both Hong Kong and Beijing, we are also delighted that David Schlesinger and Tom Grimmer have joined us as senior advisors. Both have been at the cutting edge of journalism, communications and business in the People’s Republic of China. Their insights and advice on business and communications in China are proving to be an invaluable resource for our fast-growing global client roster,” Barton added.
