ISBN 978 1 912363 76 6 Typeset by Style Photosetting Ltd, Mayfield, East Sussex Tables and index by Moira Greenhalgh, Arnside, Cumbria Preface This book traces the life of a public company from birth (and its planned conception too), through adolescence and its growth into maturity until its demise, or at least the possibility of its demise, for immortality of course may beckon for this legal form of person. In doing so it concentrates on the public company listed on the London Stock Exchange. It is the mightiest of all companies, the biggest and the most high-profile.
