From next month South African company Anglo American will be listed on the UK Stock Exchange, following a merger with UK group Minorco. The renamed Anglo American plc will be one of the largest mining and natural resource companies in the world, and plans to introduce a new corporate identity created by London design consultancy The Partners.

The Post Office will next month launch sets of commemorative stamps to mark the establishment of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly. Scottish group Tayburn created the Scottish editions, while London group Tutssels developed the Welsh versions. The designs are the result of a long consultation project. ‘The views of the people of Scotland and Wales were vital in the selection of the vibrant and modern designs of these new stamps. The images are a reflection of how the people of Scotland and Wales see themselves,’ says Post Office chief executive John Roberts.
