Business7 celebrates 100 issues
I had no idea when I booked a week off in October I would effectively be missing out on putting together most of Business7's 100th issue.
Still the time away did give me time to reflect on the two and a bit years I have been working on the publication.
When we launched the tremors from the American sub-prime mortgage crisis were still fairly minor and Royal Bank of Scotland was just about to complete a deal for ABN Amro.
Since then the world has been turned upside down and I have been fortunate enough to play a small part in recording the changes.
