ARCH-carpetbagger Fred Woollard is 需要・要求するing that the London 在庫／株 交流 支払う／賃金s 支援する its cash pile of up to £200m to 株主s.

The 38-year-old Australian entrepreneur tried to 軍隊 保険会社 基準 Life to demutualise two years ago. Now he has turned his attention to ano ther historic British 財政上の 会・原則 - the 在庫／株 交流, where his company, Hunter Hall 投資 管理／経営, owns 1.3%.
