Time: 8.00-10.00am

Venue: Le Meridien, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BH

ACG UK is hosting a further interactive and timely breakfast programme for the dealmaking community following its launch in February 2012.

This event is geared towards potential buyers who might not have bought a distressed asset before but who will probably find that an increasing percentage of the opportunities crossing their desks over the next year are businesses under financial pressure, or indeed in distress. On our panel will be:

Rob Asplin, Director, Better Capital LLP
Paul Beveridge, Managing Director, PNC
Christopher Harlowe, Partner, Corporate Recovery & Restructuring, Speechly Bircham
Andy Stoneman, Partner, Duff & Phelps UK Restructuring
