Despite the global economic downturn, the region’s economy is still strong and I firmly believe that the office has huge potential for growth, and could quickly beat its own ambitious growth targets.”<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2FLeedsLaunch%2Falbumid%2F5218425778623705201%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss"></embed></div><em></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7050815338978012039-8250579668528040745?l=wsleedslaunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Weber Shandwick Leedshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563925784286313945noreply@blogger.com
