Portfolio Review 2024 – Mark Bentley
Post Date: January 25, 2025
Introduction
This is now my fifth annual comprehensive portfolio review. See my 2020 review for an explanation of my investment objectives, strategy, "asset types" and investment accounts. My 2023 review can be found here.

Cranswick AGM Report 2022
Post Date: August 25, 2022
Introduction
On 1st August I set out early for a long drive to Hull to attend Cranswick’s AGM. Though I had met Cranswick’s management some years previously at an investor event London, this was the first of their AGMs that I had attended. Given its out of the way location, at a hotel in the Hull suburbs (but close to Cranswick’s HQ), I thought it would be rather a small affair.
