Tendo Consulting are a London based public affairs company, founded by Will de Peyer and Peter Carroll, two former special advisers to former chief secretary to the treasury Danny Alexander, in 2015.
Due to de Peyer and Carroll's previous positions, Tendo had to be approved by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments. Both men were given the advice that they were not to 'draw on privileged information available to [them] as a crown servant', 'for two years from his last day of service, he should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of his new company or its clients' and 'for two years from his last day of service he must seek confirmation from the committee directly that each individual commission is permissible under the terms of his consultancy before taking it up.[1] [2]
