In the Telegraph, Questor is into his sausages, Cranswick sausages to be precise. The company has had a strong start to the year, up seven per cent while also organising a smooth transition of senior management when the current Chief Executive quits in August. With revenues up 8.2 per cent, profits up 2.7 per cent and the company having enough confidence to hike the dividend Cranswick is a hold.Tempus in the Times kicks off with British Land which has a £10.3bn portfolio of retail and office properties. The company's offices are doing very well, with 50% of its development pipeline pre-let. Retail is slightly weaker but still posted growth (0.1%) last year. With the company boosting the dividend for the first time in three years and rental profits rising, British Land is a buy.Tempus is also crowing over one its tips for the year, tech firm E2V Technologies. It makes semiconductors while also having interests in radio frequency technology for mining applications. Revenues grew 10% last year and the company thinks that can be sustained, pre-tax profits also grew 17% and E2V could be debt free in 18 months.
