Alternative Merger and Acquisition Models Masterclass

Despite the UK being gripped by recession, many business owners working in the media and marketing industries are seizing the opportunity to expand their operations. In the dog-eat-dog agency world, times of economic downturn often present more economically viable opportunities for growth through mergers and acquisitions.

That said, in the current economic climate no agency is waving its cheque book about in order to woo marriage partners. But what are the options for those agency owners looking to either expand through acquisition, or simply exit in the current climate?

Sixteen delegates joined us for this interactive half day Masterclass, held in Manchester on 13th July 09 which introduced the major topics, case studies, legalities and dissected the processes necessary to follow when considering M&As.

Speakers included :

Brian Child, former Chief Executive of McCann-Erickson, Manchester. While at McCanns, Brian not only worked through two recessions, but managed to build the agency into the biggest outside London.
Hugh Mason of Pembridge Partners. Pembridge Partners provides finance and advice to marketing, media and technology business owners. They help create, build and realise value of independent companies.
Peter Croome has been a consultant for countless companies experiencing re-structuring. He reminds us of the important, often overlooked, little things gives advice and will help delegates with the day-to-day workings of M&As.
