The Bottom Line (real and broadcast)

Big news for a couple of ambassadors over the past week or two. First up, Craig Dearden-Phillips' Speaking Up were one of five organisations chosen by the Department for Children, Schools and Families to receive part of a £27m fund to deliver services to young people. You can read a bit about Craig's reaction to that in his post about Kids Company over on his Naked Entrepreneur blog.

That's one bottom line-related piece of news. In another, ambassador Sophi Tranchell featured last Saturday on Radio 4's business programme, The Bottom Line. You can listen to the programme here and it's particularly interesting to hear the differences (and commonalities) of approach that the three chief execs have, particularly in relation to shareholdings and ownership (with Divine Chocolate being 45% owned by its co-operative in Ghana, the AGMs can be a little different....). Well worth a listen, and good to see the movement represented on a mainstream business programme.
