Leaving the bouncy castle behind
Article Abstract:
Lynx Holdings will continue with its acquisitive strategy, although it must also achieve organic growth, according to the UK firm's group managing director Richard Last. Lynx has expanded rapidly and changed significantly since Last joined the firm in 1991. At that time, Lynx was mainly involved in leisure products, including bouncy castles. Last was given a free hand to guide Lynx, and decided that its future direction should be in IT. It has therefore moved out of leisure and now has two main divisions: computer services and software.

Spicing up the city: Manchester has taken its place on the world stage
Article Abstract:
Several groups have been set up to ensure that Manchester and the north-west will gain direct business benefit from the Commonwealth Games in 2002, including a Private Sector Group. Also agencies such as Agency for Investment into North-West England (Inward), are working to promote the area's advantages. Overseas companies have chosen to set up in the area because of motorways connecting Manchester with all parts of the UK and the workforce of 1.2 million people.
