A Gloucestershire firm and the small matter of £250 million

How on earth it happened we don’t know, but almost two months ago a Gloucestershire firm revealed it had disposed of a cool £250 million, and yet we all missed it!

Welcome to the second edition of The Raikes Journal of the week.

Regular readers will know we sometimes paywall our Wednesday/Thursday edition to help pay for what we do - but not today!

Today we take a look at a remarkable story of a county firm and just what it did with £250 million. As you can imagine, we thought that was worth a mention!

On Friday (if all goes to plan) our usual full end of the week edition will lead with running a story about another county business we happen to know about which has been working with the team that made the Gymshark exercise clothing label the multi-million pound success it is today - and which is eyeing considerable growth of its own.

If you would like us to write about your business, or have a story you’d like us to cover, are a business that wants to partner or work with Raikes (which is a community interest company), please do get in touch.

Best regards,

Andrew Merrell (editor).
