- Jonathan Clare, CEO. One of the original founders of Citigate in 1988. Recent work has included Investec’s dual listing in London, Morrison’s bid for Safeway, and Russian-oligarch Roman Abramovich’s acquisition of Chelsea Village.[2]
- Anthony Carlisle, Executive Director. Has been with Dewe Rogerson since 1970. One of the best known PR men in the city. A key figure in the government privatizations of BT, British Gas, BP, British Steel and the water and electricity companies in the eighties and early nineties.[3]
Tony Carlisle has been described by the Evening Standard as “the dark master at Citigate Dewe Rogerson, and a man who has made more money from the privatised utilities sector than most. Carlisle was involved in 90% of the privatizations of the eighties and nineties. He was quoted by the Guardian as saying: “One of the key accusations of privatisations is that it works for the bosses and the shareholders, but ... pity about the poor consumer.”[4]
