VetUK[edit]

  • ... that VetUK, which has annual revenue of more than £10 million, started operations in the living room of co-founder Iain Booth?

  • "started operations in the living room" when talking about a vet-related business may create an unintended image in the mind of the reader. The £10 million turnover figure is from 2010 and the 30% year-on-year figures come from 2011 and 2012 and do not state that the growth is in turnover, so after two years there is some question as to the accuracy of the figure. You make this clear in the article, but not here. Belle (talk) 09:26, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Apart from the hook, this meets all the other criteria (long enough, new enough, prose not copied from elsewhere, cited, neutral, QPQ not required). Belle (talk) 13:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
  • How about ALT1: ... that VetUK, which has annual revenue of more than £10 million as of 2010, initially operated out of the living room of co-founder Iain Booth?

  • Review of ALT1: ALT1 is acceptable, short enough and hooky enough, and checks out online with citations #3 and #4. I struck the original hook due to issues mentioned above by Belle. Review by Belle taken on trust. Good to go. --Storye book (talk) 16:42, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
