Who is going to look after you at BLR?
 
It’s all very well talking about “IT systems” and “current legislation”, “modern accountancy procedures” and “the technological state-of-the-art.” At the end of the day, the work you need carrying out is still going to be done by people.  The question you want to examine is can they cut the mustard at BLR?  To help you make up your mind, here’s a thumbnail sketch of each of the BLR senior executives.
