Hanbury Strategy grows its team in Sydney

FGS Global has announced a series of senior appointments in Singapore, naming Harry Florry as Head of Singapore and Andrew Yeo as Global Policy Partner Asia, alongside four public affairs hires. This follows the appointment of Susan Ho as Asia Chair in January, as previously reported on Telum Media.

Harry will lead the Singapore business and strengthen the firm's equity advisory and financial transactions practices across Singapore and Southeast Asia. With a background in investor relations and capital markets, he brings more than 16 years of experience across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Previously based in Hong Kong, Harry has worked with clients in Singapore and Southeast Asia over the past five years.

As Global Policy Partner Asia, Andrew brings experience in political risk, regulatory strategy, and stakeholder engagement. He is joined by four colleagues: Managing Director Raihan Zulimran, formerly of the Monetary Authority of Singapore; Director Nicholas Lee, previously with Sea Limited and SGX Group; and Associate Directors Brendan Pinto, formerly of Singapore's Ministry of Finance, and Dedi Dinarto, an Indonesian policy specialist. The appointments will strengthen the firm's public affairs capabilities in Singapore.

Faeth Birch, CEO of UKMEA, FGS Global, said, "Singapore is central to our Asia strategy and to our global ambitions. These appointments reflect our commitment to investing in exceptional leadership and deepening our strategic advisory capabilities for clients across the region. Harry's move to lead the Singapore business, combined with Andrew and his team joining us, gives clients genuine depth in capital markets, in public affairs, and in strategic communications." 

Joey Ho has returned to CDR as Associate Director.

Based in Singapore, he leads media relations and investor communications programmes for clients across various sectors. Joey first joined the firm in 2018 before moving into investor relations roles at CDL Hospitality Trusts.

He most recently led investor relations at Frasers Hospitality Trust and played a key role in its privatisation. 

Positive change agency, Think HQ, has been appointed by the Department of Health, Disability, and Ageing to deliver a nationwide community engagement roadshow to increase participation in Australia's National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP).

The account was awarded following a competitive tender process, with Think HQ tasked with developing and executing national engagement activities. The agency will oversee the strategic design and rollout of experiential activations, partnership activations, community events, communications assets, and social content, alongside promotion across paid, owned, and earned channels.

In addition to the community engagement remit, Think HQ has also been appointed as the creative agency for the NBCSP promotion campaign, while the agency's multicultural division, CultureVerse, has been named multicultural specialist agency as part of a broader agency village led by Cancer Council Australia in partnership with the Australian Government.

Jen Sharpe, Founder and Managing Director of Think HQ, said: "We're incredibly proud to be partnering with the Australian Government on such an important national initiative. This work reflects our growing reputation as specialists in behaviour change, as well as our ability to deliver fully integrated, culturally informed campaigns in-house.

"Most importantly, it's an opportunity to create meaningful impact, helping more Australians engage with life-saving screening in ways that feel relevant and accessible."
