Hugh's Views

This is a purely self-indulgent blog in which I can, if I feel like so doing, comment on matters of public and private import.

Fenman under its new owners

Huveaux Trading Statement

Read the section on Education and Training. I obviously have no idea what is happening at Fenman but the pre-tax profit seems to be around half of what it was when I sold my share of the company in 2002. They seem to believe that cutting marketing and setting up a targeted salesforce will bring profits back up. I don't believe this will work. The answer is editorial investment. They need to produce stunningly good product reliably and regularly.

I wonder if this will be an example of a larger company failing to run a small one successfully? I hope not as many of my friends still work there.
