New York, August 11, 2009 – Primary Insight, LLC, a leading provider of expert network services to institutional investors globally, announced today that it has opened offices in London and Shanghai. Headquartered in midtown Manhattan, Primary Insight will now be able to provide ground level support to its clients in the UK and Asia.

Co-founder and Managing Partner Leighton Thomas will divide his time between NYC and London in order to focus on Primary Insight's European growth. "With 25% of our current client base in London, it was only a matter of time before we made a permanent commitment to be on the ground in Europe”, says Thomas. “Having a London office immediately helps us better service our existing clients, and affords us the ability to effectively explore new markets such as Frankfurt and Geneva."

The Shanghai office will be headed up by the Managing Director of Asia, Fany Fang, a seasoned veteran within the expert network industry. Said Co-founder and Managing Partner David DeRose, “The addition of Fany and her team has provided Primary Insight’s clients with an instant value-add to their research needs in Asia, with specific focus on Chinese and Korean markets.”

Led by industry veterans DeRose and Thomas, who remain at the helm of the company, Primary Insight completed a Management Buyout from J.P. Morgan on April 1, 2009, with a strategic investment by The Hidary Group.
