Agenda item

The Director of Economic Development to be heard.

The Director of Economic Development updated Members on a newsletter that his team had sent out to Members of the Sub Committee entitled “City of London: Financial and Related Professional Services Highlights”, and asked for Members’ feedback.

Members, on the whole, thought this newsletter was a good idea but some Members discussed some of its wording. Specifically, there was question why only “related” professional services to the financial services sector was mentioned. Many felt that the City Corporation needed to look at all the professional services in the City as a whole. One suggestion would be “Financial and Professional Business Services”. The Director agreed to look at this and reword.

A Member also suggested that the prominent messages and what the Director wanted the audience to remember should be on the front page and that the City of London Corporation should be referenced throughout, rather than City of London.
