Acquisitions seem to be the flavour of the month here at PEMCF, what with our support of De Sangosse's recent purchase, and our upcoming Growth Strategies Seminar.

With this theme in mind, this issue's article offers several important points to consider when buying a business.

Our other big piece of news is that we've recently celebrated our 10th anniversary! The party was a great success and we were touched to see so many people there.

Photos are up on our website - just don't count how many grey hairs we've grown!

And as some of you will have spotted at the celebration, PEMCF has a new member. We're pleased to welcome Luke Martin, who joins as Corporate Finance Executive.
