Who owns Citywire?
A lot of the people who work here own shares in the company. Also Thomson Reuters, the world renowned news agency and financial information group, bought a quarter of our company in 2001.
A bit of history please
Citywire opened its doors in 1999 and celebrated its 10th anniversary in late 2009. And a very good party it was as well.
People at the Top
Citywire is the brainchild of Lawrence Lever, formerly financial editor of the Mail on Sunday and assistant City editor of The Times. Lawrence is now the chairman while David Turner, an experienced hand in financial publishing who joined in 2000, is chief executive.
Other important people (it says here) are commercial director George Ball, chief operating officer Richard Cook, product development director Nick Collard and Richard Lander, executive producer.
Any important people on your board?
Funny you should ask. One of our directors is Mark Wood, former chairman and chief executive of ITN and a terrifically bright and decent bloke. Nicholas Berwin was a top investment banker in the City who now devotes a lot of his time, free of charge, to the arts. Kevin Gundle runs a business which invests in hedge fund of funds. He is also one of the driving forces behind ARK, the incredible hedge fund charity which has raised tens of millions of pounds for disadvantaged kids around the world.

Endre,
Apologies for the confusion! If you click the 'My Account' link (at the top, just above the search bar), the Portfolio option will appear just beneath the search bar.
Alternatively go straight to http://www.citywire.co.uk/wealth-manager/my-citywire/my-profile.aspx.
We'll be implementing various tweaks and fixes over the coming days, and will look at whether we need to put the portfolio link in a more obvious place.
Thanks
Rich

Nice fresh appearance - well done.
Is there a graphical presentation of the FTSE so that I can see the days progress as well as just the spot figure.
Finally will you provide the new look as an iPad app? The current iPhone version is not upto much.

My portfolio no longer functions. Neither the 'performance', nor 'overall' buttons function. I hope these features are not discontinued as part of your revamp.
cheers, Chris
