Royston, Campden FB's regular cartoonist, has been documenting the family business world and the issues that the magazine has covered since January 2007, writes Marc Smith.
You can never underestimate the power of a cartoon to get straight to the heart of the matter and say succinctly what it can take several pages to explain. This was brought home to me when I attended one FBN annual summit and found Royston's cartoon from issue 33 (see below) as part of one CEO's presentation.
