ONE of Britain's most influ­ en t ia l C ity columns has strongly tipped Ultraframe as a good investment. "Questor" in the Daily Tele­


graph points out that last week the Clitheroe-based con­ servatory giant's shares were priced at about 230p, against an April price nearer 370p. The reason is largely techni­
