Spear’s Review

‘Our work is very personal, very confidential, based on clients’ unique situations,’ says Terence Fane-Saunders, founder and executive chairman of reputation management advisory Chelgate. Fane-Saunders notes that while clients often come to him in moments of stress, a number of them have treated him as a trusted adviser for many years.

The proudly discrete firm operates in the sensitive areas of reputation management and crisis response. Clients include HNWs and their families, governments, NGOs, corporations and political movements.

Fane-Saunders tells Spear’s that much of his passion for his work comes from the deep connection he forms with his clients.

‘I am not interested in taking on a client who will do harm or who is dishonest. Life is too short for that. We will take on people who others say are dishonest, but we can determine that for ourselves.’
