Edwards (pictured) joined in 2011, to lead the agency's European operations, while supporting development across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Edwards adds: 'There is no magic formula, and anyone that claims to have a 'one size fits all' solution is kidding themselves and their clients. At Hall & Partners, we aim to bring a consistent approach to the wide range of data now available in order to advise clients as they navigate the future.'
