London, 14 June 2011

Tullett Prebon is pleased to announce that its Energy division will open an Asian based Coal desk on 1 August 2011. The desk will be based in Tullett Prebon’s Singapore office, brokering both financial and physical coal products.

The Singapore based team will work closely with Tullett Prebon's existing Coal desk in London to provide global coverage to both new and existing clients. They will also work with participants in the region to promote the development of the coal market in Asia.

Greg Kublikowski, who has over 10 years’ experience in the coal market, will relocate from London to Singapore to head the desk.

Andrew Polydor, Global Head of Energy and Commodities at Tullett Prebon, commented: “The establishment of a Coal trading desk in Asia affirms Tullett Prebon's long-term commitment to the global coal business and our position as a leading broker of energy products. With continued growth and ongoing development in Asia, we are now able to work with our clients in the region to establish and offer the most effective risk management products.”
