  • Pension threat to firms must be eased, says CBI

    May 25, 2009

    THE government must lengthen the period over which it assesses the health of company pension schemes, according to the CBI. The employers’ organisation is today pushing for “urgent action” to extend the rule forcing the Pensions Regulator to investigate firms’ funding plans where deficit repayments will take more than ten years to 15 years. It [...]

  • SWINE FLU HITS THE CITY (WELL, SORT OF…)

    May 25, 2009

    IT had to happen eventually: the global swine flu outbreak has officially claimed its first City victim. Well, that might be a touch exaggerated, since the poor chap in question – Sterling Printers director Simon Pearson-Miles, who’s better known in the City simply as “PM” – only contracted a mild sniffle after coming into contact [...]

  • Tories pledge deep change

    May 25, 2009

    CONSERVATIVE party leader David Cameron has promised that his party will deliver a radical redistribution of power, in an attempt to address voter disquiet over MP expenses. “We need to look seriously at the immense power prime ministers wield through their ability to call an election whenever they want. If we want parliament to be [...]

  • Crude oil drops on OPEC fears

    May 25, 2009

    THE price of crude oil dropped back to around $61 (£38) a barrel yesterday, ahead of an OPEC meeting this week. Oil has rallied over investor sentiment that the worst of the downturn is over.

  • Travelzest is undeterred by libel lawsuit

    May 25, 2009

    TOUR operator group Travelzest is pressing ahead with its investigation into the alleged theft of company money, despite a defamation lawsuit filed by founder and former chief executive Chris Mottershead.

  • Ashley wallet suffers due to relegation

    May 25, 2009

    SPORTS Direct owner Mike Ashley’s fortune looks set for another battering after the football club he owns, Newcastle United, was relegated from the Premier League.

  • Cheap Nano is a no-go in India

    May 25, 2009

    Just 20 per cent of Tata Motors’ orders for the world’s cheapest car are for the bargain basement $2,600 model, it emerged yesterday. Chairman Ratan Tata spent four years designing the budget car with 500 engineers, saying the Indian customer would rather have a cheap car with no air-conditioning. Half of the customers booked the [...]

  • MPs should show how to use pay to reward talent

    May 25, 2009

    May has been a very embarrassing month. People keep talking about money. Not the anonymous multi-trillion pound bailout/quantitative easing/fiscal stimulus piles of money, but the cringingly personal “my house is bigger than yours” monthly pay-cheque sort of money.
