  • The Notebook: Neil Bennett on Thames Water’s future, Iceland’s remarkable recovery and Twitter’s new rival

    opinion

    The Notebook is where interesting people say interesting things. Today it’s Neil Bennett, global co-chief executive of advisory firm H/Advisors Where next for Thames Water? However big and powerful they appear, businesses are in reality fragile creatures. Many thousands of them fail every year for all sorts of reasons, and today’s behemoth is tomorrow’s insolvency [...]

  • The Notebook: Neil Bennett on scale-up funding, bounce-back Britain and a Love Supreme

    SQUARE MILE JOTTINGS

    Roll up, roll up ladies and gentlemen for the greatest sale on earth, a once in a generation opportunity to snap up corporate assets at unrepeatable prices. If you don’t, my (imaginary) new investment firm, Car Boot Capital, will certainly do so. It is a truth universally acknowledged that we are living through a liquidity [...]

  • The Notebook: Neil Bennett on the local elections, the BBC and a very modern strike

    May 3, 2023

    The other day my bike appeared in The Sun. Like any proud owner, I have carefully kept the cutting. The reason for this was a colleague needed a prop for his anti-pothole campaign, catchily called “Pot Trumps”. Each day he features a large and terrifying pot hold on Instagram in a forlorn attempt to persuade [...]

  • Bennett on Business: The CBI must demonstrate value for money

    April 19, 2023

    When it was founded in 1965, the Confederation of British Industry was intended to disrupt the cosy dialogue between the Wilson Government and the Trades Unions. Back then the Unions called the shots – they were invited into Number 10 to discuss industrial and economic policy, leaving assorted company leaders out in the cold. As [...]

  • The Notebook: Neil Bennett on corporate disasters, Paris on fire and signs of hope for Wandisco

    March 29, 2023

    One of my favourite business quotes comes, inevitably, from Warren Buffett: “It is only when the tide goes out, that you discover who has been swimming naked.” In the past two weeks it has become clear that the recent rapid tightening of rates has created to a strong ebb tide, and that there is an [...]

  • The Notebook: Neil Bennett on how the Treasury made the BBC look very slow indeed

    March 15, 2023

    Writing a column on the morning of Budget Day is always a thankless task. By the time you read this, most of you will know what is set to come out of that red box, while I can only speculate. That said, it’s nice to see that Jeremy Hunt is now following in his predecessors’ [...]

  • The Notebook: Neil Bennett on the Bank’s lost credibility, corporation tax, and Scotland the timid

    March 1, 2023

Today it’s our fortnightly columnist Neil Bennett, the global co-CEO of communications and strategic advisory group H/Advisors, on the Bank of England’s forecasting record, corporation tax plans, and a new must-see play Cast your mind back to last November, when Huw Pill, Chief Economist [...]
