Hi David - firstly - PLEASE change the name of your blog to the company name and your name - I have 20 all called the same thing.
ReplyDeleteOverall though & so far, this is well authored - good intro although I would have liked a little more of it in your own words. Good updates. Just be careful of this most recent update - it is a bit obvious - Interim reports are what they say - interim - mid year. You clearly haven't understood the translation! But by making that point in your blog you don't sound as intelligent as you should! You haven't referenced the chart or explained what it is - at the moment it just looks pretty rather than useful!
