Howard Henshaw

Yesterday, in my capacity as a member of the Board of Lancashire County Developments Limited, I attended the Company’s AGM followed by a Meeting of the Board.

During the course of the meeting, several interesting investment proposals were sanctioned and various business development initiatives approved to assist small businesses survive and prosper during the present recession.

One particularly interesting item was a Rural/Evironmental scheme to promote a MicroFinance Pilot Extension where I was able to draw on my previous positive experience of such schemes in several  developing countries where I worked in Africa and the Far East.
