Seminar - Turnaround Case Study , MBO for Interim Directors and Managers, Interim opportunities in Private Equity portfolio companies plus networking
Interim managers are rightly concerned about the impact of the "credit crunch" and the recession coming down the track.
But one sector that is booming is Turnaround for obvious reasons.
Interim Directors and Managers brought into companies to effect change and Turnaround are in a unique position. As a result a number of interims, through Turnaround and Management Buy-Ins, have bought into companies but:
- How do you really Turn a business around? Turnaround is not just dealing with the PAYE being overdue.
- Where are the MBO opportunities and
- Importantly what are the risks and potential rewards of an MBO?
Will the downturn and the credit crunch mean more or less MBOs?
Our next meeting is on Thursday evening 20th November in Central London.
Kevin Parkin an interim, and Interimconnect member, bought into DavyMarkham "One of the largest engineering workshops in Western Europe" supported by Private Equity (PE) will explain through his unique approach what he faced and how he and his management team turned the company fortunes around
