Manulife Asset Management, a fund manager with some $301bn (£211bn) in AUM (assets under management), has brought in FWD as its PR representative for Europe and the UK.

FWD’s Gug Kyriacou, Cat Ommanney and Adam Shaw will manage the Manulife brief. They will work alongside Brian Carmichael, MD of public relations at Manulife Asset Management, who is based in Boston, MA.

Earlier this year FWD directors Kyriacou and Elliot Lane completed a management buyout from the agency’s founder Michael Gaughan.
