This month's Insider features the Midands Rich List, a rundown of the 100 richest working rich in the region, as well as all the winners and shortlisted developers, agents and architects from the West Midlands Property Awards 2008. Plus we ask whether big fees are killing the niche deals upon which the Midlands' professionals now rely. We also look at how the region is building links with the latest members to join the EU and examine the growth of science parks in the region and the role they have in generating investment.
The November issue of Insider features The Great Transport Debate, including a fiercely contested discussion between both sides of the Transport Innovation Fund fence and an exclusive interview with Sir Howard Bernstein, the scheme’s architect. There’s also an interview with JJB Sports chief executive Chris Ronnie and an insight into the future of manufacturing, while we examine where next for Liverpool after its Capital of Culture year.
In this month’s Insider we publish the first Power List for the South West, counting down the region’s key influencers and decision-makers. If power is about influence, we reckon the balance of power between business and politicians has shifted with the global financial crisis and economic slowdown, and our inaugural list reflects this.
Big town and city centre developments are transforming shopping in Wales – and, while the outlook for the rest of the economy is mixed, retailing looks pretty resilient, reports Kristian Dando. Meanwhile Insider’s Power 100 shows the balance shifting towards the public sector, and we take an in-depth look at the masterplans that will change the look of Wales.
Even with all the turbulence in the market, Yorkshire’s dealmakers have still been hard at work pulling off sizeable transactions. This month we profile the people who have made it to the shortlist for our Insider Dealmakers Awards 2008 and profile the shortlist for Deal of the Year – four deals that together are worth around £2.5bn. Plus we look at whether it is still possible to exit your business in the current climate and catch up with changes to the rules on company cars.
