A bridge over troubled water
Article Abstract:
There are many synergies between transport, shipping and property, according to Jacobs Holdings Managing Director Michael Kingshott. He has made extensive changes at the company since he took up his position in 1994, and has given considerable attention to building up these three areas. He has also overseen the divestment of non-core activities, including ship broking and coastal vessels. The company purchased a strategic stake in engineering, shipping and property investment concern Ropner in Oct 1995, and in Feb 1997 made a full takeover for 34 million pounds sterling.

What's the story?
Article Abstract:
Services are the most important aspect for the developing financial public relations sector, with the emphasis on building a strong client base. Combining quality services with an informal consultancy team are the key elements to a successful public relations company. European investments are expected to be the next logical step in the public relations industry, with investor and media attention less focused than in the UK and United States.
