Great alias- no impact- thanks for your comment
Do you have anything else mildly useful to say?

Michel saouda’s kotoka airport vip lounge closed last week
One of his main businesses is a travel agency
If this goes bust what will be the impact on scanport?
Does this explain the delay in the Wsg Tema contract?

In July 2014 fowler reported that wsg operations ‘were not materially affected by Ebola’. Do you expect an honest update on company circumstances? Maybe he has learnt a lesson

Sorry to hear that you are so unwell foxy
Coronavirus will end and allow your operation to proceed. Hang tough in the meantime and stay safe!

They need to buy some more guard dogs in Northamptonshire and maybe a new van though

General fowler will have to scale down his global ambitions

The worldwide Wsg empire may need to be slimmed down. Less need for PowerPoint presentations in Colombia for at least a year

aiming- how do they record their sales? How do these correspond to the contracts announced on their website

Apologies- 9th March
Prior to that 6th march

Wsg need to conserve cash/ slash costs
How are they going to do it?

Plus last fever kit contract 11th March- need to keep up momentum
