And the Winner is...
Probably not the consumer but is the balance tilting? I had the pleasure this month of attending the PLC Awards dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel. The categories of award included Best Performing Share, Best Performing Smaller Company Fund, and Company of the Year. Funnily enough there was no award for most cost effective fundraising/acquisition of the year; that's possibly not something that the City would wish to celebrate.

What A Beautiful Year
