ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to emphasise that the book presents my own assessments and does not necessarily express the views of Complicite. The thesis proposed represents my response to the work of the Company and any shortcomings in the study are solely my responsibility. I also wish to acknowledge the generous support I have received from members of the Company during the writing of the book. Not only have they patiently supported this research, providing indispensable archival resources, but they have also accommodated my visits to their Kentish Town office even at the most hectic of times. I owe particular gratitude to Judith Dimant for her guidance and the trust she has placed in my research. I would also like to acknowledge the invaluable help of Poppy Keeling, Claire Gilbert and other members of the office team. The book would not have been possible without consultations with long-time associates of the Company, including its co-founder Marcello Magni, as well as Clive Mendus, Jos Houben, Eric Mallett and Douglas Rintoul. I thank them all for the time they have
