Emeraud

Aurelien Emeraud, 23, of Cardiff, has been appointed to help steer the companies' continual growth strategy in both the domestic and international market.

Flashes of well-observed scene and dialogue are interspersed with beautifully phrased glimpses of far and haunting places, like rain-drenched, rusting piers lapped by the tides, or a sharp bow plunging through the sea "comme une paire de ciseaux de couturier dans une piece de satin vert emeraud." Casablanca is evoked: in fact, Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet, and Co.
