Profit first...

ANNE-MARIE Trevelyan’s sales trip to the USA couldn’t have come at a better time.

She can demonstrate that the UK is indeed “the world’s most attractive investment destination” by quoting Northern Powergrid’s lucrative profit of £93m on a turnover of £355m going to the USA.

Here in the UK, profit comes before performance. There’s no requirement to replace creaking infrastructure or invest in emergency equipment here!
