About this film
From a company name to a person runs 1:17, read by Imogen and appears on Leadistry's Enrichment page. The full narration is above in 6 sections, so you can read it instead of watching if that is quicker. Every figure shown on screen comes from the Companies House public record or a named published source, and the companies used as examples are fictional specimens rather than real customers.
