Armstrong Watson

🚀 We’re live I’m really pleased to share that our brand new Armstrong Watson website, along with our refreshed careers page is now officially live. This has been a big piece of work behind the scenes, and it’s great to finally see it out in the world. The new site better reflects who we are, what we do, and where we’re heading as a business. We’ve put a lot of thought into the careers experience, giving potential future colleagues a clearer picture of our culture, our values, and the opportunities to grow with us. A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this to life, from ideas and design through to build and delivery. If you haven’t had a look yet, I’d really encourage you to take a few minutes to explore 👇 https://lnkd.in/eM36vH5V If you’re considering your next move, our careers page is a great place to start. #NewWebsite #Careers #Hiring #CompanyGrowth #Teamwork

Last week we were proud to stand alongside Cumbria Community Foundation . At Armstrong Watson , we believe strong communities are the foundation of long‑term prosperity. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Cumbria Community Foundation an organisation that plays a vital role in supporting local people, charities and projects across our region. Cumbria Community Foundation does more than distribute funding. It connects generosity with genuine need, ensuring support reaches the grassroots organisations that make a real, lasting difference often quietly and behind the scenes. As a firm rooted in Cumbria, we see first‑hand the challenges faced by individuals, families and communities, particularly in times of uncertainty. Partnering with the Foundation allows us to help amplify impact, strengthen resilience and support initiatives that reflect the true needs of our communities. This partnership aligns closely with our values, responsibility, with integrity and long‑term commitment. We’re proud to support an organisation that shares our belief that investing locally creates sustainable change economically, socially and for future generations. We look forward to continuing our work together and playing our part in helping Cumbria thrive. Jackie Blacklock Andrew Beeforth OBE DL Pam McLeod

I have recently written about 'what is Corporate Finance' and what services we provide in CF, but the other part to that is - what clients do we typically work with and who do we advise? I really enjoy advising clients in what's called the Lower Mid-Market (LMM). The LMM definition varies, but it is 'typically' characterised by companies with: 🎯 Turnover up to £100m 🎯 EBITDA up to £15m 🎯 Enterprise Values up to £150m 🎯 Ownership is typically Family-Owned / Founder-Led / Owner Managed Businesses, and Privately held 🎯 If they are seeking capital, it is typically their first time 🎯 Operationally there are areas within the business which an acquirer can make improvements in and seek growth opportunities from One reason why this is an exciting area to work in, whether you're on the buy-side or sell-side of transactions, is that there is so much variety. Another reason is that in this segment of the business environment, each transaction is a pivotal moment. For example, it could be a founder who is exploring their first exit or a management team pursuing a buyout, or a strategic buyer looking to scale through acquisition etc. If you operate within the Lower Mid-Market and would like a chat about how we can help you with your future plans, feel free to get in touch. #CorporateFinance #Advisory #LowerMidMarket #Acquisition #MBO Armstrong Watson | Jonathan | David | Andy | Stephen | Lee | Mark

A consultation on Employment status is long overdue - whether a single status can be achieved has yet to be established but the debate needs to happen soon if true fairness and equality is to be achieved for all workers across all industries. Thanks Jeni Morris - NMW Specialist for sharing. Karen Thomson ChFCIPP MSc FHEA Dip Armstrong Watson
