Very nice, I suppose. Some people have all the luck. 'What's this, boss?' PR email, Voice. 'Yes, I know. But from whom? About what?' Give me a chance!
It's Monday morning, kook(s). Do you know what I mean? 'Well, you've had your coffee, and you've done your hypnosis.'
Ha! Privacy seems to be a thing of the past ...
Okay, okay. Let's get to work!
12th November 2020, London: Fintech business lender MarketFinance has appointed The Rt Hon. Baroness Susan Kramer and entrepreneur Shalini Khemka to the MarketFinance Grant Supervisory Committee. These appointments follow the recent announcement of the £10m grant from the Capability and Innovation Fund, announced by Banking Competition Remedies Ltd.
The grant will be used to bring more choice and competition to the business lending industry.
Baroness Kramer will act as the chair of the committee with Shalini Khemka joining as a member. The committee has been established to oversee the governance of the grant. They will provide oversight and advice to MarketFinance in its administration of the Grant, bringing their decades of experience in policy making and business to support the ambitions of MarketFinance to expand their services and help wider spread of businesses across the UK.
Okay, okay. It sounds all right ... I suppose.
Let's hear some voices now. 'You want me to talk?' No. I want you to be quiet, Voice. 'Oh.' I want them ... to talk, the others.
On her appointment, The Rt Hon. the Baroness Susan Kramer comments: "I have been an advocate for fintech for a very long time and I am especially thrilled to be supporting MarketFinance on this exciting journey to expand services to all businesses across the UK."
Thrilled. Fair enough. Shalini?
Shalini Khemka adds: "Delighted to be supporting MarketFinance and look forward to providing strategic guidance, constructive feedback and offer specialist advice in delivering on their promises."
Delighted. Thank you, Sha, sha, sha ... Shalini.
Uh ...
'Is that it?! Just two voices? Let me say a few words on the matter.'
No, no. We have Anil now. 'Really?' Yes. 'Great! Saving the best till last, eh?' Ha! I wouldn't say that.
Anyway ...
Anil Stocker, CEO of MarketFinance comments: "We are looking forward to benefiting from the experiences that Baroness Kramer and Shalini will bring to the team on our journey with this grant award. Their insights will be invaluable to us as we broaden our product set and deepen connections with strategic partners to reach even more businesses. Our aim is to increase the options available to many small business owners. This is a difficult time for UK businesses who are desperately trying to find the right finance to keep their doors open - we will be there to help."
Thanks, Anil! 'Let him finish, boss!' Christ!
"Looking ahead, we will deliver a solution that radically reduces the complexity of managing finances for our customers, combining the product sophistication of a large lender, with the user-friendliness of a fintech."
Yes, thank you, Anil.

Anything else? Yeah. My image.
Well, I've ordered my sunglasses. £100 reduced from £200. 'Result!' Yeah.
I think I'll wear them while rehearsing my songs. I want to be in "character" as much as possible, you dig?
[Amy Winehouse got her image from Sixties girl groups - and she lived it 24/7 - !]
Of all my songs, I reckon Malibu and Stella are best suited to my new image. They have a "luxury" feel to them, you dig? 'What about the "tough guy" part of the image?' I'm Right Inside.
Polo shirts? To start off with, I'll probably get a blue slate one and a pine one.
Chinos? Er ... I'll buy a size smaller than I usually wear and then diet until I can fit into them, and then I'll buy two more pairs.
Laters!
