--Significant expansion of the firm's operations in Australia 

Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced that it has acquired Quay 
Advisers, a leading strategic communications and investor relations advisory 
company based in Sydney, Australia.  

Quay Advisers was founded in 2016 by John Hurst and Murray Williams and has 
provided counsel to ASX listed companies and private entities, specializing in 
the financial services, property, retail, agricultural, leisure, oil, gas and 
energy sectors.

Mr. Hurst, who will join Teneo as a Senior Managing Director, was previously 
the Managing Director at Cannings Corporate Communications. He has more than 20 
years' experience in business, finance and political reporting and commentary 
with The Australian Financial Review, including five years as Managing Editor.

Mr. Williams will join Teneo as a Senior Managing Director. He has over 30 
years' experience consulting to ASX Top 200 listed companies across a wide 
range of disciplines including corporate communications, proxy solicitation and 
shareholder opinion research.

The acquisition of Quay Advisers follows the opening of Teneo's office in 
Sydney last year along with the appointment in September 2018 of Emily Blyth as 
Managing Director. Ms. Blyth has almost 20 years' experience in corporate 
affairs working with Australian and international companies across a range of 
sectors.

"We are delighted to welcome Quay Advisers to Teneo," said Declan Kelly, 
Chairman and CEO of Teneo. "They have a tremendous track record of delivering 
value for their clients and will play an important role in helping further 
expand our presence in this important market."

Mr. Hurst said: "This represents a very exciting moment for our company. We 
were attracted by Teneo's global approach to strategic communications and its 
ability to offer clients access to a global network of more than 750 advisers 
across strategy and communications, management consulting, and capital and risk 
advisory."

Teneo has now completed 10 acquisitions since the firm was founded in 2011.
