Many thanks for attending our London Capital Markets and M&A Briefing.
The event was enjoyed by all those who attended on the day; commenting on how they welcomed the opportunity to meet in an informal & independent forum and learn about the benefits, procedures, rules and regulations for going public in London Capital Markets.
Special thanks to the Department for International Trade and our sponsors Crowe Clark Whitehill and Minerva Trust & Corporate Services, and our guest speaker Mr Jeff Leong from Jeff Leong, Poon & Wong; without their support, this event would not have been possible.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Best Regards
