TSE Consulting announced today that Jasper Perry has been appointed as the new Director for the TSE UK office located in London, England.

Jasper Perry, commencing September 1, 2010, will lead the UK office in delivering consulting services to national sports organisations and UK cities and regions involved in bidding for and hosting sports events. His initial focus is on assisting UK cities to attract pre-game training camps for the 2012 Olympics and other 2012 related activities.

Jasper brings extensive experience within major event bidding and delivery to TSE. Formerly working with Sport Business Group, Jasper moved further into sponsorship and media evaluation within the sports industry. He was then appointed as Senior Events Manager at the Northern Ireland Events Company before moving on to work with Yorkshire Forward as their International Events Director. In these positions Jasper was successful in brining a multitude of international events to both of these areas and securing funding resources.

Jasper replaces Robin Courage, MBE, co-founder of TSE Consulting, who will remain with TSE as a Senior Advisor on the international level.

Commenting on the appointment, Lars Haue-Pedersen, Managing Director of TSE Consulting, said: "We are delighted to bring Jasper on board. We have worked with him during his time at Northern Ireland Events and Yorkshire Forward and have no doubt that he will be a great asset to us as we further develop our activities in the UK. We are pleased that Robin will continue to assist us on the international level."

Jasper Perry, Director of TSE Consulting UK, said: "With the London Olympics just around the corner it is an exciting time for sport in the UK and a perfect time for me to join TSE. I look forward to working with our public sector clients to ensure that London 2012 is a benefit for cities and countries around the country."
