New blood and treasure

摘要

Now that we are into 2006 and the halfway point in the first decade of the new millennium has been passed, I find myself thumbing through copies of last year's Building magazine, picking out news items that caught my eye and wondering if they will be repeated, copied or ignored during 2006. One thing that is sure to grab the headlines in the coming months is the plethora of salary surveys that are published at this time of year. Several of my contemporaries made the headlines in 2005 by revealing their own pay packets as part of the new era of glasnost brought on by becoming limited liability partnerships.
