UBM started life as a newspaper company, and spent most of the last century building up its media and PR operations. But diversification is no longer the watchword. Three years ago, the company chose to concentrate on its global events business.
The share price, and the special returns, show investors have benefited from that decision, but where does the investment case stand now? An acquisition-led growth model has lifted sales but also balance sheet leverage, while comparable sales have been slow in some geographies.
UBM chief executive Tim Cobbold fields questions on the group's strategy from IC companies editor Ian Smith. Produced by Dominic Toms and Alex Newman.

Bringing doctor surgeries into the 21st century, with modern facilities and a wide range of services is going to coast billions of pounds. Ironically, it will save money because a hospital visit costs the NHS far more than a visit to a doctor’s surgery. Without further investment, the situation is likely to get worse because more and more people are living longer, and this is the age group that is more likely to need greater medical attention.
One of the companies at the forefront of providing more modern medical centres is Primary Health Properties (PHP). In the latest edition of our Boardroom Talk series Jonas Crosland spoke to chief executive of Primary Health Properties Harry Hyman, to discuss what needs to be done to help take the burden away from hard pressed hospitals by providing dedicated medical centres to replace old GP surgeries that are not fit for purpose.

In episode three we talk about some of the biggest myths, market debates and controversial aspects of ETF investing in the UK. To listen to the podcast click here.
Royal Dutch Shell matters to investors. It's the largest listed company in London, one of the biggest oil firms on the planet, and represents an enormous source of income for thousands of direct and indirect shareholders. And following Shell's acquisition of BG, one-time holders of British Gas shares may now find themselves with a small stake in the company.
But with its industry rocked by the fall in oil prices, and cash tight, is the 7 per cent yield sustainable? And with environmental policies set to increase the pressure on fossil fuel companies' business model, is Shell still a buy and hold stock?
IC natural resources reporter Alex Newman puts these questions to the Shell experts in this special podcast.
