Coining it

Pick of the Week  alerted me to a programme I had missed – a whole half hour devoted to £ stores by the BBC Business Correspondent Jonty Bloom.

I was overly cautious in predicting that it would take until 2020 for £ stores to become the darling of the Stock Exchange, wrong too in that old-fashioned way of putting it. With the sector now worth £7 billion in the UK and predicted to be £11.2 billion by 2016, the big beasts all want in on the act – private equity & major brands among them.
