I would like to suggest some changes to the Hakluyt & Company Wikipedia entry. I believe they are non-controversial, as they simply update the references to Hakluyt’s overseas offices, management and boards. I have an interest, as I am an employee of Holdingham Group, of which Hakluyt & Company is a trading name. That is why I am proposing these changes here rather than simply making them myself.

The updates are as follows:

1. In the second paragraph, "Hakluyt is headquartered in London and has subsidiary offices in Singapore and New York” should be changed to “Hakluyt is headquartered in London and has subsidiary offices in Singapore, New York and Tokyo”.

The supporting reference is www.hakluyt.co.uk.

2. Keith Craig retired as CEO in 2016, and I would suggest adding a sentence to the end of the second paragraph as follows: “In March 2016, Dr Paul Schreier became the new CEO of Hakluyt, in succession to Keith Craig. Unlike his predecessors, Schreier does not have a background in intelligence. A former Royal Navy officer, he was a partner with McKinsey & Company, worked in the office of the Australian Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and was Chief Operating Officer of Macquarie University in Australia.”

Supporting references for this statement can be found at https://mq.edu.au/about/executive/vice-chancellor/2015/10/13/changes-in-the-executive-group/ AND AT https://uk.linkedin.com/in/paul-schreier-ab80011. ‎

3. The fourth paragraph, on the Holdingham board, is out of date, and I suggest replacing it with: “In January 2016, Lord Paul Deighton joined the company’s board, which is chaired by Sir John Rose, former CEO of Rolls-Royce. Deighton was previously the head of the Organising Committee for the 2012 London Olympic Games and a minister in the British Treasury. The other members of the board are Robert Webb, QC and Matthew Williams.”

4. The section on The Hakluyt International Advisory Board is also out of date, and I suggest replacing it with:

“Hakluyt’s International Advisory Board comprises senior figures with backgrounds in business and government. It is chaired by Niall FitzGerald, KBE, former CEO and chairman of Unilever. Its members in January 2017 were:

Sir Roy Anderson, former Rector, Imperial College, London

Manvinder (Vindi) Banga, partner at Clayton, Dubilier & Rice

Senator Bill Bradley, Managing Director, Allen & Company

Keith Craig, former Managing Director, Holdingham Group Ltd

Sir Christopher Gent, former chairman, GlaxoSmithKline and former CEO, Vodafone

Irene Lee, chairman, Hysan Development Co. Ltd

Sir Iain Lobban, former Director, UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)

Minoru (Ben) Makihara, KBE, former President and Chairman, Mitsubishi Corporation

Trevor Manuel, former Minister of Finance, South Africa

Akio Mimura, chairman, Tokyo and Japan Chambers of Commerce and Industry and former President, Nippon Steel

Lubna S. Olayan, CEO and Deputy Chairperson, Olayan Financing Company

Amaury de Seze, vice-chairman, Power Corporation of Canada

Andreas Sohmen-Pao, chairman, BW Group

Louis B. Susman, former US Ambassador to the United Kingdom

Ratan Tata, GBE, chairman Emeritus, Tata Sons”

If someone was happy to make these changes, I would be grateful.

Press release free of charge? Wikipedia is not a platform for PR. You should write here something about who murdered Ken Saro-Wiwa and about the spy Manfred Schlickenrieder on Hakluyt's payroll. Wikipedia would be grateful. --87.156.231.94 (talk) 18:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
