Brewin team wins 2010 Extel and Starmine Awards

The Brewin team this week enjoyed a number of encouraging results from two leading UK small/mid cap surveys - Extel and Starmine.

Most notably, analysts Sahill Shan and Chris Glasper were Extel ranked No 1 and 2 respectively in the Healthcare sector, as voted by fund managers.

Analyst Jon Lienard was Starmine ranked No 1 in the Industrials (Equipment & Machinery) sector, and James Tetley was ranked No 4 across 'All sectors' in the UK and Ireland, reflecting the accuracy of their forecasts and their recommendations.

Commenting on the Awards, Michael Parkinson, Head of Research, said, 'It is always pleasing to have independent confirmation of the quality of our analyst team.'

'Every analyst aims to be the best in his or her respective sector, and the individuals who have achieved this can be rightly proud of their achievements.'

'Our team is based outside of the London rumour mill and this assists in our independent thinking and longer term approach which is more in tune with quality companies and investors alike.'
