From the announcement, “In early-January, the company will purchase the ‘Directory of Directors’ from Reed Business Information for �343,000, funded out of its �7m cash pile. The Directory of Directors, which has been published annually for 135 years, collates data on key industry figures across 12,500 public and private sector companies, featuring around 38,000 directors.
