Jeremy Smith and Francesca Birch have just returned from a hectic weeklong trip to New York. Our US client list has grown significantly this year and we are currently working with 9 major banks on our annual US Securities Survey. Jeremy will be returning in June to initiate the next phase of the project.

Although the meeting schedule was tight, Jeremy and Francesca found time to shop and visit one of New York’s less austere institutions, namely “Jeremy’s Ale House”. Rumours of M&A activity would of course be denied by the parties concerned.
