Lady Mary talk at Chawton House
Pleased to announce Jo will be talking about the Lady Mary book at Chawton House on Monday 29 March.
London’s past and future for international finance
With Brexit comes a time of big change for London as an international finance centre. The best response is to stay global, open and innovative, as described in this article by London Stock Exchange.
World Class science
The UK has been demonstrably and evidentially world class when it comes to the science and research effort to tackle the Covid-19 virus and has shown a degree of regulatory deftness. Despite our politicians’ embarrassing bluster about “world class” track and trace and other ineptitudes, there’s much to be applauded.
The Serpent
We really enjoyed The Serpent on BBC1. Yes, we could have binge-watched the show but we liked the scary and creepy edge it gave to a Sunday night after The Antiques Roadshow.
A fascinating talk
It was fascinating to talk with Rob Wirsz, CEO of Fonix; Tommy Cook, CEO of Calnex; and Tim Barker, CEO of Kooth about their experiences of holding an IPO on AIM in 2020.
