Kudos to consultants and bankers like Cornwall Insight and Investec for their accurate forecasts on the UK energy retail price cap. They were spot on (Cornwall was off by a mere £6!!!) despite regulator / gov officials trying to smear their calculations several weeks ago.

Been trying to think all day why 15 April is important. I now realise it’s the anniversary of my start up of Cornwall Consulting. So 20 years to the day. A day after the launch of Net Zero East too and with over 80 quality jobs created. Still loving the work!
