Welcome to Richard Newell's website

The site includes details of my business services and published writing, together with news and photos for family and friends. Please select the appropriate section below.

Publishing and Professional Business Writing
I have been involved in newspaper and magazine publishing for many years. I am now responsible for the Asian businesses of the London-based IPE International Publishing group. These include the highly regarded institutional journal ‘Investment & Pensions Asia’, printed in Hong Kong and distributed across Asia Pacific.

Other products include the Chinese language title Investment & Pensions China (Investment & Pensions China) and the 'Asian Investment Managers Guide'. These titles are also available on the web and are supported by a team of writers and researchers in Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore, Japan and Australia.

Global Fund Services
I am a specialist in investment funds and have spent much of my career travelling and researching international markets. In the UK, I was the marketing director of a London-based fund management company, before moving to New Zealand in 2001. GFS provides fund management industry research and commentary on global investment opportunities.

In New Zealand, I have a local business offering professional copywriting and business consultancy services. This business is regularly called on by clients to review or to help prepare formal reports to customers.

Communication Mentor
Businesses large and small often fail to appreciate the importance of good communication. This consultancy provides companies with practical guidance on effective external and internal communication, arming key executives with the tools to get their message across.

Family and Friends
A section of the site for family and friends around the world. Contains photos in different categories: the Newell family in New Zealand; with our friends around the world; on our travels; and a family photo archive.
