News: RBS economists see growth in South Yorkshire

Following comments last month on the strength of the commercial property market in South Yorkshire by Neil Parker of RBS, his colleagues gave an equally positive outlook at an economics seminar in Sheffield. The Star reports that Stuart Porteous, RBS' head of group economics discussed the state of the UK economy in the face of the global credit crunch with 150 professionals and business owners. In addition, Andy Shooter, RBS commercial banking relationship director for Sheffield, said: "South Yorkshire is bucking the current national trends."
