King Worldwide Investor Relations Expands With Opening of Madrid Office

MADRID and LONDON, October 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

King Worldwide Investor Relations, the newly formed division of DF King Worldwide, today announced the opening of its Spain and Portugal office.  The new office will be managed by regional Director Manuel Enrich and located in Madrid as part of King Worldwide's plans for growth in EMEA.

Manuel Enrich comes to King Worldwide with more than twenty years experience in the Investor Relations sector.  After starting his career at IBM as a Financial Analyst he went on to Bankinter where he spent four years as Director of Equities and Investor Relations before accepting a position at Link Securities Agencia de Valores y Bolsa.  There he was Chairman and CEO before moving to AB Asesores Bursatiles (now Morgan Stanley) where he headed up their equities division.  After moving on to Eurocofin as CEO, where he founded the IR division, and subsequently Parquesol as Head of Strategy, he began his own investor relations consultancy-Logical IR Solutions.  

Mark Simms, Co-Founder of Capital Precision and Global Head of Sales at King Worldwide Investor Relations, said, "Manuel is a welcomed addition to our growing EMEA team, bringing with him years of specialist experience and insight that will have a great impact on our clients in the region.  He has unique regional knowledge as well as a deep understanding of the investor relations needs of today's corporate.  Manuel will play a pivotal role in our growth in the region, in addition to helping us hone our products and services to provide even more relevant support to companies who want to stay ahead in this dynamic environment."  

"King Worldwide has created a unique offering with their IR division.  They brought Taylor Rafferty's full range of services, experience, and high level consultants together with Capital Precision's proprietary data and research capabilities to create one team that communicates across both realms.  It is unprecedented," says Manuel Enrich.

He continues, "For me it has always been about creating a relationship with the client that is long-term and achieves results.  King Worldwide shares that philosophy, and in a market where the lack of publically available data means you need a far more scientific approach-I think our value will be increasingly clear."
