| Letter in the FT |
| Sir, No amount of new legislation will alter attitudes among those who believe that executives suddenly become brain dead on reaching the age of 50.
Fortunately, canny folk at private equity and venture capital companies have realised the value of bringing in some grey hair around the boardroom table of companies that are disappointing their shareholders.
They have realised that it's worth capitalising on 30 years of quality experience by executives who have made their mistakes at somebody else's expense. More power to their elbow!

| MATURE MD 3 SUCCESSES |
|
Barely 5 minutes in existence and I have contracted for our first three stars to work for Enterprise Enfield. The secret is having high calibre candidates. Please recommend this site to any friends who might be interested in signing up and then loading up their CVs. Even more importantly keep an eye out for any company which could benefit from having a thoroughly experienced MD, or Chairman or NXD. They would have my undivided attention. Thanks Peter Detre Managing Director ( very mature ) |

| Mature workers bridge the skills gap |
| I read with great interest today that UK entrepreneurs are increasingly relying on older workers to plug skills shortages in their businesses, according to figures released by entrepreneur think tank, the Tenon Forum.Nearly half (45 per cent) of UK owner-managers are concerned about skills shortages and many claim younger recruits are often just not up to the job. Many entrepreneurs are now looking to the previously untapped potential of older workers to plug the gap, with two thirds (66 per cent) of SME leaders agreeing that the employment of workers aged 50 plus is a good solution to skills shortages. And more than a fifth (22 per cent) of entrepreneurial businesses actually favour the hiring of older workers over college leavers as a solution to staffing problems. |
