WIBF NetWorks : come along and meet our March guest Citygirl!

She began her column as The Londonpaper's "Citygirl" in 2008, taking over the slot previously occupied by Geraint Anderson’s Cityboy column, which exposed the excesses of life in the City before the banking crisis hit. Her book, "Confessions of a Citygirl" exposes the macho madness that has destroyed banks and ruined so many lives. Citygirl will read an excerpt from her book to give the inside track on life in the financial capital of the world.
