Financial Plan

CEO Ernest Beckingridge is woken with a call. "Get down here quickly. Clients and staff and jumping from the roof of Beckingridge tower!"

All was quiet. ERNEST BECKINGRIDGE was still awake. It was only ten thirty but he and his partner Evelyn were taking the jet on an early commission to Luen in the next morning. A well earned break Ernest agreed. The office had kept him busy lately.

“Maybe we could just go to Luen and stay there,” the financial CEO had jested that afternoon as they sat at their usual table in Delphine – a fine…

A Long Fall from the Top

The live fast. They sell hard. They fall far. 

A husband and wife team. Mr and Mrs Heath are the dynamo duo of the BECKINGRIDGE FINANCIAL FIRM. They are the leading investment consultants and have brought more clients in in their time that most of the other long standing members of the team.

Cold Hard Cash: The Beckingridge Firm

Beckingridge Tower is home to the wealth of the most powerful families of Coldford including WEIR, OWEN, and DOYLE. It takes a pretty big place to hold that kind of responsibility.

Cold Hard Cash

How much are you willing to invest in the running of the Shady City. The more money the BECKINGRIDGE empire holds on your behalf the more control you will have over the city. But what is the return?

We can trust CEO ERNEST. After all, each of his personal problems have become very public news. His wife accused of child murder (acquitted thank you!), his company funds embezzled (better background…

Free Falling Empire

There was a rattle on the oak bedside table. Ernest ignored it at first but it continued. He turned on his left side and switched on the tall, thin silver lamp. Lynn groaned beside him. Ernest tried to reach for his glasses but knocked them to the floor instead. He lifted his phone and through blurry vision he could see the face of his assistant, Bernadette.
