Has Harvey gained a ticket for World Travel?
Outsider confesses that a number of years ago he, or someone purporting to be him, described Equity Trustees’ somewhat peripatetic Harvey Kalman as “Harvey World Travel”.
And it is true that whenever Outsider runs into Harvey he is usually in travel mode which suggests to your less widely-travelled correspondent that Mr Kalman has more than his fair share of frequent flyer points earned, of course, in doing the business of the company.
And it is with this in mind that Outsider wishes his heartiest congratulations to Harvey for being promoted to a new position as managing director (UK and Europe) and global head of business development fund services for Equity Trustees.
Now Outsider does not know how that compares to Harvey’s previous and long-running role as executive general manager corporate trustee services and global head of funds services but he suspects it means that when border restrictions are lifted, Kalman will once again be joining the jet set.
In the meantime, Outsider has every intention of taking advantage of any lifting of the border restrictions twixt NSW and Victoria so he might further interrogate Kalman, preferably on a fairway or two.
