Mark Simpson has been investing in individual stocks since 2003.

Bruce Packard is a Financial Analyst and a former equity research analyst who worked in the city specialising in the financial sector. He started his career at Credit Suisse followed by various other banks and stockbroking firms (Pali, Evolution, Seymour Pierce) before leaving so that he had more freedom to analyse and invest in companies for his own portfolio.
