M&A Comms

If you’re an investor, professional advisor or a company director involved in M&A activity, you’ll know the importance of communications surrounding a transaction. 

The way the news is conveyed to staff, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders at both companies can have a critical impact on how it is received internally and externally.

Aside from the confidentiality surrounding a transaction, the internal marketing and communications teams are probably busy carrying out their day-to-day activity.  Besides, corporate comms like this require specialist expertise.

With over 30 years’ experience working with SMEs, financial institutions, private equity and professional services firms, we know the sensitivities involved, along with what to say and how to say it.

We offer a fixed price package of communications so you don’t have to worry about this aspect of your next deal.
