TNS Merges Asia and Middle East Regions

TNS is to incorporate its Middle East and Africa (MEA) operations into its Asia Pacific network to create a new combined Asia Pacific-Middle East and Africa (AP-MEA) region. Asia Pacific MD James Hall will oversee the new area, while regional MD Stuart Campbell-Morris will continue to lead the MEA business.

Headquartered in Dubai, the MEA operations comprise offices in Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria and UAE. From January 1st 2006, they will cease to be part of the company's Southern Europe-Latin America region, and will join the 15 countries that make up TNS Asia Pacific.

Hall says the creation of the combined region is 'a positive move that will better align our business with that of many of our global and regional clients'. He adds that the blend of skills and resources across new region will be 'highly complementary'.
