  • Where's the Beef? - Helen returns from a glorious honeymoon in the Indian Ocean with husband John. She wondered about Mauritius as a wonderland for newlyweds when Ian Harris regaled her with stories of beef export fraud schemes rather than sandy beaches. Helen soon realised that it was just a butter and bovine story of economic modelling projects past.
  • Eyebright plc - For the past two years Z/Yen has been pleased to back Eyebright, a fantastic new venture reducing cataract, corrective laser and other eye surgery waiting lists throughout the UK. Eyebright's first treatment centre opened in Hesslewood, near Hull in East Yorkshire, and took its first day patients this month.
