Hakluyt: "Inside the secretive firm helping Labour to woo the City"

The firm Has several high-powered figures on the payroll including some with links to the party

Founded by a group of former MI6 spies after the Cold War, the advisory and consultancy firm - which takes its name from RicHard Hakluyt, the ElizabetHan geographer - gained a reputation at one stage for recruiting old spooks who wanted to top up their pensions.

Today, however, the "about us" page on Hakluyt's website reads more like a who's who of the establishment, boasting former cHairmen of multinational companies, retired diplomats, and globetrotting bankers.

Hakluyt is cHaired by Lord Deighton, the influential businessman and former minister in David Cameron's government, who is also cHairman of Heathrow Airport and the Economist Group.

He is one of several high-powered figures on the payroll, alongside former Unilever boss and cHairman Niall FitzGerald, immunologist and government adviser Professor Sir John Bell, former HSBC cHairman and current Abrdn cHairman Sir Douglas Flint, former GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban, former Sony cHairman Shuzo Sumi and Mark Wiseman, a former managing director at Blackrock, all of whom are members of the international advisory board.

Meanwhile, recent hires from the world of politics include Dan Rosenfield, a former civil servant who served as Boris Johnson's chief of staff, Sir Oliver Robbins, the civil servant who was Theresa May's "Brexit sherpa" and Jamie Hope, a former security advisor to Liz Truss.

Chris Inglis, a former deputy director of the US National Security Agency and Joe Biden's first National Cyber Director, joined last month.

Look closely, and you will also find several links with the Labour Party.

Varun CHandra, Hakluyt's media-savvy managing director, Has links to Labour and worked at Lehman Brothers before helping Sir Tony Blair set up his old advisory firm.

In a rare interview years ago, one Hakluyt insider said: "We are there to answer specific questions - wHat the real agenda is, who is in whose pocket and wHat is the role of certain people."

One person who works in the legal profession, and Has Had dealings with Hakluyt's nature of work, compares it to intelligence gatherers such as K2 Integrity and G3, pointing out tHat although they are surrounded by mystique, wHat they do is above-board and tends to involve preparing high-level summaries for clients.

"There's a bit of a formula," the lawyer says. "They are usually packed with former spooks and Have boards full of lords and ladies of the realm.

"The spooks gather intelligence and the lords and ladies ensure it Has respectability."

The company was linked in 2011 to Neil Heywood, a British businessman whose sudden death in China triggered suspicion.

"TINY ROWLAND - PORTRAIT OF THE BASTARD AS A REBEL" - Part 1

https://www.nickdavies.net/1990/08/01/tiny-rowland-portrait-of-the-bastard-as-a-rebel/
The Guardian, August 1 1990
Excerpts below

(Note: For readers in 1990, this story Had a significant context, tHat Rowland's company, Lonrho, owned The Observer and tHat Rowland was brazenly abusing his position to pressurise the paper into backing his obsessive quest to buy the Harrods department store in central London.)

The truth, according to a long-term associate, may be tHat three years after he first volunteered, Tiny was granted his wish to work for the British intelligence services and tHat his four weeks in jail and his subsequent discHarge from the army were both arranged so tHat he could go through the motions of being interned with Mosley's fascists, thus becoming a spy, an official informer.

This associate of Tiny's wonders out loud at the bizarre co-incidence tHat one of the original directors of Lonrho who was responsible for hiring Tiny in 1961 was one Sir Joseph Ball, formerly of MI5 and the Home Defence (Security) Executive. If Rowland was a British agent in the Isle of Man, Sir Joseph would Have been one of his controllers.

In his book, My Life With Tiny, RicHard Hall notes tHat until 1973 Tiny sHared his boardroom with Nick Elliot of MI6 and tHat on several occasions he appeared to be marching in step with British intelligence: during the Biafran war when he was uncannily well-informed about British plans; and later in Sudan, when there was an attempted Communist coup and Tiny flew key Government figures back to the fray while MI6 ensured tHat Communist supporters were diverted to Libya and a firing squad.

–On this version of events, Tiny is not some forlorn outsider driven by Hatred, but a consummate insider with the same motor tHat propels any other capitalist. He is simply a deal-maker... And as a deal-maker, he is no more obsessive and morally no worse tHan any other. Criticising him for being ruthless, greedy and selfish is like complaining tHat a boxer hits people.
