Issue- July 2009
The July issue of Insider explores Liverpool's journey to World
Expo 2010 in Shanghai and opinion surrounding the move. Jim Pendrill
reports from China at a time when regional businesses are looking
eastwards to achieve growth. There is also our annual Power 100 list,
which profiles the region's big hitters; a Manchester City Region review
and an interview with Crown Paints chairman Graham Hallworth. The first
14 of this year's 42 Under 42 are also revealed.
On top of all the challenges facing business at the moment, getting on a plane and going to China might seem like an exercise in indulgence, but it isn’t.
Insider’s Jim Pendrill joined a Liverpool delegation to Shanghai ahead of next year’s World Expo and found a city busy gearing up for the world’s ‘business Olympics’.
Graham Hallworth tells Michael Taylor how he faced down anti-terrorist legislation and won, and is now on course for a bright future for his twin business passions, Crown Paints and Clearwater.
