Post-war perk
Article Abstract:
National Savings products are secure and often tax free. They also offer competitive interest rates. National Savings Certificates offer a tax-free 5.35% compound interest rate over five years, but early redemption penalties are severe. UK interest rates are rising and investors may obtain better rates if they wait before becoming tied to a particular interest rate. Pensioners Bonds are popular and are only available to investors aged over 60-years-old. They are taxed but have the advantage of paying a monthly income.

Hewitt: potters perk up
Article Abstract:
Hewitt is a producer of kiln furniture which is benefiting from increased global demand for ceramics. The company acquired a ceramics concern in former East Germany in 1993, and this led to problems which affected results in 1993 and 1994. Hewitt also acquired Keith Ceramic Materials, a producer of synthetic mullite, in Jun 1995. The company has increased capacity but has had to turn down work due to rising demand. Hewitt's profit is forecast at 800,000 pounds sterling for 1995.
