Or to give it its Sunday name, chefflera / Heptapleurum.
We first got one of these from my Mother when she was poorly and wasn't allowed house plants. I rescued it from the garage down in Norfolk and brought it home to Lincs. Unfortunately it died. When we put the conservatory on our present house, we bought a baby one, which was about a foot or so tal.
This photograph is the last but one new bud to appear (I couldn't focus on the latest bud, it's too high up). They appear to thrive from neglect
Oh memories Phil! I remember these - we had one in our bathroom at the other house and it was floor to ceiling. As you say - thrive on neglect - hence the size of mine!!
