Christmas Message from Doug Baird
2008 has been an interesting year for us all. What started out as just a crunch has rapidly turned into a recession; maybe even a depression. Along the way, I have discovered new words like stagflation and gazundering, and witnessed the most profound changes in the financial services landscape.
Consumers plan cutbacks but Christmas won't be cancelled
Tarlok Teji, UK Head of Retail at Deloitte writes "This year consumers have had to deal with an onslaught on their spending ability with massive increases in their energy bills, substantial hikes in transport and petrol costs and food inflation, all this is on top of mortgage payment increases."
Thoughts from an Interim Manager - Andrew Villars
Here we talk to Andrew Villars who has been an interim manager since 2003. He started his career in retail management prior to spending 8 years with a Management Consultancy firm where he was a Partner specialising in the Retail/Hospitality sectors. It had always been his intention to set up his own business and interim management seemed the perfect solution.
