A metal bashing CA in Alva. (Stephen Clark Fabrications Ltd. director Edward Elworthy), (chartered accountant; Alva, Scotland) (company profile)

Article Abstract:

Stephen Clark Fabrications Ltd (Alva, Scotland) was bought by Edward Elworthy and his friend Malcolm McNab in 1976. Elworthy, a chartered accountant, bought the engineering company after returning to the UK after extensive experience abroad. The firm focuses on the production of post office caller boxes, post boxes that are placed in the outer wall of post offices that are extensively used in countries lacking a developed postal service. At the time of the purchase, the firm had a turnover of 400,000 pounds sterling and 42% of its business came from one client. Under new ownership, the dependence on the primary client has been reduced to 10% and Elworthy is expecting a turnover of 4 million pounds in 1993, a 25% return on capital, and pre-tax profits of 10%.

Knowing the musical score

Article Abstract:

General Director Anthony Whitworth-Jones is credited with the new spirit of adventure pervasive at the Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Since he assumed the top position in the company, Glyndebourne has begun presenting works of many British musicians instead of its traditional practice of concentrating on just one composer. The company's finances have also seen great improvement, moving from a "hand-to-mouth" operation to a "stable and healthy" condition. Glyndebourne is not funded by the Arts Council, but Whitworth-Jones has such confidence in the company that he is going ahead with his latest project, the privately-funded construction of a new theatre.

DATAVAULT: securing the knowledge

Article Abstract:

DATAVAULT is the largest firm offering specialized data storage and management in Scotland. DATAVAULT offers storage for the paper and computer tapes of firms, plus a service which orders and catalogs a firm's archives. DATAVAULT also offers disaster planning, in which the firms rehearse a disaster scenario. Through DATAVAULT, the firms subscribe to a service in which large computers located around Scotland are kept on a stand-by basis to handle a disaster, either simulated or real. DATAVAULT's security is tight, and likely keeps data safer than data stored on a firm's own premises.
