Share pick for 2019: GB Group
Thursday 20 Dec 2018It’s hard to escape talk of Brexit uncertainty and potential growth slowing on a global scale as we enter 2019.

Share pick for 2019: Euromoney
Thursday 20 Dec 2018We think the transformation of Euromoney ( ERM ) from an old-fashioned media business to a higher quality data services outfit will hit home with the market in 2019 and help drive the share price higher. The company is rapidly growing its pricing and data side, diversifying away from a weaker asset...

Thursday 20 Dec 2018Top 100 law firm Keystone Law ( KEYS:AIM ) was set up in 2002 by a group of lawyers who were tired of the lack of modern thinking and creativity in traditional firms. Building a platform model using technology and modern working practices, they hoped that other lawyers would see the attraction and...
Share pick for 2019: On The Beach
Thursday 20 Dec 2018We believe On The Beach ( OTB ) is a great business with a superb track record of using technology and marketing to attract customers and get them to spend money.
