Ever wonder what happened to the old charmers who ran Halliwells? Well, thanks to one eagle-eyed Roffer, we can reveal all (well, actually hardly anything) via the medium of LinkedIn, a social networking site even more tedious than Facebook.

Here's Ian Austin - latterly managing partner of the unlamented firm. He's interested in 'career opportunities'. Which is surely odd, given his big move to..err...Heatons. He'd also like to 'get back in touch'. There are - one imagines - several hundred ex-Halliwells staff who'd quite like to get back in touch with him (and his fellow equity partners) too. Get back in touch with extreme prejudice, perhaps.

And here you'll find international man of mystery and erstwhile senior partner Alec Craig, who's on the look out for business opportunities. Anyone got one going?

Alec was last seen enjoying a quick laugh with Ian in an unfortunate advert for some prime Manchester real estate. Since then...umm, well we don't know. Have you seen Alec? Let us know.



Happier times for the Halliwells Two
