CRU Expands its Network by Opening Singapore Office

LONDON, April 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

As part of the firm's on-going strategy to put high quality teams close to its customers in key markets around the world, CRU has opened an office in Singapore.

The new office is part of a wider development of CRU's position in Asia Pacific, joining a network that now includes Beijing, Shanghai, Sydney, Mumbai and Tokyo. The office will help CRU increase customer contact from an analysis and consulting point of view and further strengthen the brand in the region.

Paul Butterworth, manager of CRU's Steel Raw Materials and Costs team, will relocate to Singapore in April to become country manager and will be joined by colleagues over the coming months.

Nick Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, CRU Group, said: "This investment in CRU's position in Asia Pacific follows the significant expansion of our North American presence last year. The new Singapore office will allow us to get even closer to our customers and enhance both the quality of our work and the quality of our customer contact."
