Each week Bath Business News gives a prominent member of the city’s business community the last word on our weekly e-bulletin.

This week Louise Scott, director of relocation business Yellow Brick, answers our 10 questions.

What was the LAST:

Film you watched? Suffragette. Hard-hitting whilst uplifting British cinema at its best. Good for the likes of me and my contemporaries to be reminded how brave those women were. It’s easy to take our position for granted.

Book you read? The Children Act by Ian McEwan. Impressive acuity from McEwan as always, if a rather implausible denouement. But then that’s the freedom of fiction.

Music you bought or downloaded? A number of embarrassingly pumping tunes to get me through winter half-marathon training. Eminem-meets-Will.I.am-meets-Groove Armada.

Concert or play you went to? King Charles III at the Theatre Royal. Brilliantly observed characterisation, and an engaging hypothesis. It could happen!

Sporting event you attended? My daughter’s netball tournament. Does that count?

Holiday you went on? An indulgent mini-break to Courmayeur with a girlfriend and my snowboard. Snow, Italians, food and friendship. Perfection.

Restaurant you ate in? Noya’s Vietnamese Supper Club on Bear Flat. Authentic and delicious. Sunny Noya herself is as much a vital ingredient of this joyful, fragrant experience as the food.

Thing that annoyed you? Seeing at close-hand the family strain that comes with a poorly managed corporate relocation without adequate support.

Thing that made you laugh out loud? The chilli incident in David Nicholls’ Us.  Tears, snorting, the works.  All the funnier for the bemusement of my fellow passengers on the 10.13 to Paddington.

Piece of good advice you were given? Say yes…then do what you want.

Bath-incomer Louise Scott founded Yellow Brick to support other newcomers to the city in settling into life here. A seasoned re-locator, she has spent many years on the expat trail, latterly working as a relocation consultant to a global energy company in Texas.
