SHOPPING SUPREMO

RETAIL
MICHAEL GUTMAN
MD, WESTFIELD EUROPE
Australian boss of Europe's biggest new shopping centre, the £1.6 billion Westfield mall in Shepherd's Bush. The crowds have been flocking even though not all the stores were ready for business. But will they spend in these straitened times?

NEW ON THE LIST

FINANCE
DANNY BLANCHFLOWER
BANK OF ENGLAND MPC COMMITTEE MEMBER
Blanchflower has been vindicated with his calls for dramatic cuts in interest rates to stave off recession. He is now highly rated by the City for his astute forecasts. He warns of a big rise in unemployment.

MAKING MOVES

BUSINESS
AMANDA STAVELEY
35, PCP CAPITAL PARTNERS
Former model and business whizz, with superb contacts in the Middle East. She has pulled off her second major deal in as many months by broking a £7.3 billion investment by the Abu Dhabi and Qatari sovereign wealth funds in Barclays, picking up a cool £40 million fee for Mayfair-based PCP.

TALENT SPOTTER

JAMIE BYNG, 39
CANONGATE PUBLISHER
Canny boss of independent publishing house Canongate who is reaping the benefits after signing up the UK rights to two books by a then unknown US senator called Barack Obama. Now the two tomes are top of the British bestseller charts on Amazon.

FEELING THE SQUEEZE

PROPERTY
NICK, 33, AND CHRISTIAN CANDY, 35
CANDY AND CANDY DEVELOPERS
The brothers' Midas touch has been tarnished by their decision to abandon their NoHo redevelopment of the £175 million former Middlesex Hospital. Problems for key backer, Icelandic bank Kaupthing, meant they defaulted on a £221 million loan for a US building project too. They need to bounce back with £1 billion Chelsea Barracks redevelopment.

OFF THE LIST

POLITICS
ALEX SALMOND, 53
SCOTTISH FIRST MINISTER
Bad news for the wily nationalist leader who made it onto our Influentials list because he was causing Gordon Brown great problems at Westminster. Now the tables have turned with Labour's resounding success over the SNP
in the crucial Glenrothes by-election. And the London government's bailout of the Scottish banks has made Salmond's claims for independence look absurd.
