TFPL strengthens capability in legal & private sector

TFPL Ltd, the leading international information services company, has responded to the recent increase in knowledge and information activity within the private sector and legal firms in particular by further increasing its capability.

Juliet Humphries, until recently Knowledge Director at Linklaters and a highly respected leader in the legal world, has joined TFPL as an Associate Advisor to spearhead services into the legal market. In addition to undertaking advisory and consultancy projects, Juliet will lead a multi-client study to develop business performance indicators for Professional Support Lawyer teams and the development of a learning programme for PSLs.

Peter Chivers, formerly CKO at KPMG, also joins as an Associate Advisor and will work closely with Juliet in developing knowledge strategies and delivering advice to clients in the legal and professional services market. Peter was the original architect of the KPMG knowledge strategy and has considerable experience of knowledge, information and records management.

John Davies has joined TFPL’s permanent team of Advisors focusing on records management. With experience in investment banking at CSFB and the pharmaceutical sector at Glaxo, John will also be helping clients across the private sector to develop and implement knowledge, information and records strategies.

After a couple of quiet years we have seen an increase in activity in the private sector over the last few months says Nigel Oxbrow TFPL’s founder and managing director. Many companies have been ’coasting along’ waiting for better times - now there is pressure to review resources and investments in knowledge and information and make sure that value is being delivered to the business and its clients. With these new appointments we now have over 30 highly experienced advisors with such diversity of skills and experience that we can mobilise teams that bring both direct sector knowledge and the cross-fertilisation of ideas and skills from other sectors. It is a winning team - and they are winning some great projects.

Further new appointments include:
Dion Lindsey, a knowledge management professional with extensive experience in the health sector gained through senior roles at the Department of Health and the MNDA, joins as an Associate Advisor James Lappin, a records management professional with very practical experience of implementing FOI, joins as a permanent Advisor and extends TFPL’s records management capability in the public sector. TFPL’s clients are already benefiting from his in demand skills. Katherine Free, who has worked in the information world for many years, joined TFPL in August as the Resource Manager for the advisory team.
