It is the engine of growth for many of them and, as such, we must be there to support them. And as a specialist player we believe we are also well positioned to help regional businesses with international ambitions within our core markets. This move also gives us a great opportunity for further growth and we will now have centres of real excellence in New York, London and Singapore supporting our specialist markets.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Martin added: \u2018I have watched Aspectus\u2019 development and growth for many years. Its success is built on intelligence, real market knowledge and expertise, a sense of shared purpose, humility and an all-consuming focus on value and results for its clients. When the opportunity arose for me to join, it was a pretty easy decision to make.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspectus PR has announced the opening of an office in Singapore and the appointment of Martin O\u2019Connor as regional director.
