There's a lot of interest in the Lek energy group, which recently bought Westwales Electricity. To the relief of Westwales managers, Lek haven't brought in their own people to run the company. Despite predicted job cuts of something like a third of the engineering staff, no announcement has been made, and indeed, Lek's comprehensive training scheme has been opened to all grades of staff in Westwales. Back to you, Jane. We've had a number of emails from investors asking what to do with their shares in gas and electricity companies after their consistently poor performance recently. Many of you might be thinking of getting rid of yours as quickly as possible. But financial experts are fairly optimistic about the outlook for the power sector, and investors may do better to see what happens over the next few months. With so many other investors deciding to cut their losses and sell now, interest in this sector may increase, and that, of course, would push share prices up.
