MAGNUS Investor Relations + Corporate Communication has strengthened its corporate transaction communication advisory team with the appointment of Dudley White as Director of Investor Relations and Corporate Transactions.

Dudley brings more than 13 years’ experience in corporate transactions, media and investor communication in Australia, the UK and Asia Pacific to the MAGNUS business.

Over his career Dudley has developed a deep specialisation in financial communication for listed and unlisted companies, and advised on a number of significant transactions including acquisitions, public-to-private takeovers, debt restructurings and initial public offerings.

Before moving into communication advisory roles, Dudley had a successful career as a journalist with Bloomberg News in their London, Melbourne and Sydney offices. During his time at Bloomberg, Dudley developed a specialisation in mining and oil and gas, coordinating coverage across the Asia Pacific region.

Dudley’s media experience covers both print and broadcast journalism, including regular TV appearances discussing news and developments in the mining and natural resources sector, and the Australian economy more broadly.

MAGNUS Managing Director, John Gardner, said the appointment of Dudley was another positive step in the evolution of the MAGNUS business.

“In the 12 months since opening our doors, the MAGNUS business has built a reputation for delivering outstanding results for clients in relation to corporate transactions, investor relations and their broader corporate communication needs in the resources, mining services, property, professional services and financial services sectors.

“To attract an advisor of Dudley’s experience is a major win for both MAGNUS and our clients, and a reflection of the future growth potential of the business,” John said.

Until recently, Dudley was an Associate Director with Edelman in London. His main clients included Akbank (Turkey’s largest bank), private bank Brown Brothers Harriman and TD Waterhouse (the UK’s biggest execution-only broker). He has also worked on a litigation case in Turkey for global hedge fund QVT and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan’s acquisition of lottery operator Camelot.

Before joining Edelman, Dudley worked at The HeadLand Consultancy, a specialist financial communication firm in London. Prior to that, he spent seven years in Australia where he worked for Bloomberg and Ogilvy financial PR affiliate, Savage & Partners.
