Reeves Campaign Adviser Helps Shein’s Tang Get Treasury Access
- Kamella Hudson accompanied Shein chief to ministerial meetings
- Hudson volunteered for Labour in election campaign, conference
A lobbyist who worked closely with Rachel Reeves during this year’s general election campaign has facilitated high-level UK government access for Donald Tang, the head of Chinese fast-fashion firm Shein which is considering a listing on the London Stock Exchange, a person familiar with the matter said.
Kamella Hudson, a partner at FGS Global, accompanied Tang to at least two meetings with Treasury ministers last week to discuss its hopes of a London listing that could value the fast fashion giant at about £50 billion ($65 billion), according to the person, who requested anonymity discussing behind-closed-doors meetings. Hudson arranged the meetings - one with the new investment minister, Poppy Gustafsson, and another with the City minister, Tulip Siddiq - on her client’s behalf and was his sole adviser at the meetings, they said.
