Montgomery returns as the 'Comeback Kid'

Whatever one says about David Montgomery, and believe me, I've said a lot, he is a masterly manager of his financial PR. In an interview with the Financial Times's Emiko Terazono he makes a convincing case for increasing profits at his new European media empire as he stands on the brink of completing his acquisition - through his Aim-listed investment company, Mecom - of Orkla Media, the Scandinavian conglomerate. Earlier in the week, the Daily Telegraph devoted a centre spread to the former Mirror group chief with a positive headline Monty is on the march again. But let's be honest: this isn't only PR. Against the odds he has revived his fortunes and probably deserves a new nickname: the Comeback Kid. (Via FT.com)
