Heseltine Replaced By Heseltine

Lord Hesletine is standing down as Executive Chairman of the company he founded. He will be a tough act to follow. In an exhaustive executive search, carefully reviewing all the talent available in the world of media the Board of Haymarket, which is owned in its entirety by Heseltine has decided to appoint the retiring Chairmans son. He steps up from his position as Deputy Chairman. What a happy coincidence that the best candidate was already in the firm and the famiily. What are the odds on that?

What is really lucky is that Rupert is nobodies fool. Will he be able to do some of the things that have never been possible under his predecessor or will the shadow of Tarzan still loom large over the Board Room table.

Lord Heseltine Still Floating

According the The Austrahttp://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/business/story/0,28124,24993101-7582,00.htmllian, Lord Heseltine of Haymarket is saying that the recession means his firm will be treading water for a while. I thought treading water was what you did in shark infested waters to keep yourself afloat before you drowned or got eaten.

If it was me, I'd swim for the shore.
