TSE Consulting, the international consulting firm specialised in sport, has expanded its presence in Asia with the opening of an office in Singapore.

The new office in Singapore will be headed by Kenneth Quah, Singapore native who has been based in the TSE headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland for the last six years.

Commenting on the expansion, Lars Haue-Pedersen, Managing Director of TSE Consulting, said: "The Asian market is very active in hosting events and using sport to reach government objectives. We are pleased to have Kenneth, a native to Singapore and an experienced TSE Consultant, take the lead of our new office. From Singapore he will enable us to better serve our clients in the region and at the same time expand our reach to new areas throughout Asia."

Kenneth Quah, Director of TSE Asia, added: "I am excited to return to Singapore after many years and look forward to brining the expertise I have developed at TSE to the Asian market. I will also focus on bridging Asian cities, countries and sports organisations with best practices from other parts of the world. The office will be fully functional by the last quarter of 2012." 

The new office will provide regional support to cities and regions who are looking to identify and leverage opportunities in sport within the following separate, yet highly inter-related components that are fundamental to sport in any city/region or country: events, performance, participation, and facilities. In particular, TSE Asia will assist cities and countries who are looking to develop long-term sports strategies and host international and national sports events. 

TSE Consulting, headquarted in Lausanne, Switzerland, also has offices in North and South America, Scandinavia, South Africa and the Middle East.
