Haig shows no comic turnaround

Colin Haig may be gifted at pulling companies out of trouble, but when it comes to telling jokes, the former IPA chief is not exactly stand-up comic material.

TS recently heard about a champagne reception, which Baker Tilly hosted to herald the opening of a specialist business recovery unit in London, starring those tough guys of the insolvency world Louise Brittain and Ross Connock.

In a speech to toast the new partners, Haig said: 'Anyone who knows Lou can say that they know what it's like when you've been Tango'd'. That's a cracker Col.

He then dug out another old chestnut by saying the reception showed the old joke about his firm (what's the difference between Baker Tilly and a coconut? At least you can get a drink out of a coconut) was wrong. Don't give up the day job. Please.
