DRIVING SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION

Templar is a leading global communications coaching and training firm. We specialise in the financial services sector.

FOCUS

We work with businesses and individuals to enhance every aspect of their communications. We help improve client relationships, executive presence, financial presentations and pitches with advice, training and one to one coaching. Our clients include leading global investment banks, traditional and alternative asset managers, insurers and professional service firms.

EXPERIENCE

Templar was founded in 2000. We have coached and trained across multiple business cycles, from the 1999-2000 Web 1.0 IPO boom, the evolving regulatory environment post the 2007-2009 Financial Crisis, and the rapid growth in Alternatives since 2009. Over that time our clients have ranged from balance sheet-led ‘money’ banks to boutique advisory firms, and from top five long-only asset managers to multi-strategy alternatives managers and leading hedge funds.

EXPERTISE

Our consultants, many of whom have been in management or coverage roles at leading financial institutions, bring real expertise to our work with clients. Our approach is consistently at the leading edge, as it is informed by the most relevant field and academic research. This specialised insight enables us to provide practical, nuanced and differentiating advice to our clients.
