In one of his last acts before his bank was bought by Barclays for £373 million last month, Expobank chairman Kirill Yakubovskiy persuaded 12 of his female staff to strip off for a racy calendar. Ranging from secretaries to senior executives and aged between 20 and 33, Expo’s finest fillies didn’t leave much to the imagination. Senior manager Maria Guterman is Miss January, wearing a tray of enticing cakes and little else, while Miss February is network sales manager Yevgenia Trusilova, bending over a kitchen counter alongside the phrase "we work under your personal request". It will be of considerable comfort to John Varley that his vehicle for emerging market expansion can boast such great figures.
