Transports of joy

Just like busses, two new excellent and discerning corporates have joined the 1000 Metre High Club at almost the same time.

Ken Hillen, Scotland's regional director of the Bank of Ireland, signed up to help support breast cancer care and research by donating £1000 to my BoobyBirds fundraiding drive. Scottish dealmakers he works with know he's one for saying the word and getting it done ASAP - as he did in this case! I will take a leaf from your book and get your receipt back to you, Ken, as soon as possible too!

The other new joiner is David Lockhart, executive chairman of Stockland Halladale. It just so happens that David remains at the helm of the property company that owns our fine new offices, One Sixty in Fountainbridge. So top landlord marks for David and a big thanks to the chaps at Stockland Halladale.

Albeit I did have to clear up some confusion. David wrote: "Mind you I thought the 1000 Metre High Club meant something else." When I admitted the name of the club was designed to raise I smile, I asked him if my strategy succeeded. "It did," he admitted.
