Mid-Market Network autumn series

An autumn series of Mid-Market Network events will take place across the West Midlands, designed to support leaders of mid-sized enterprises as they work to execute their strategic objectives.

Following the success of our inaugural series in June, which visited four venues across the wider West Midlands and attracted more than 120 attendees, including a significant number of CEOs and CFOs from mid-sized enterprises, we are now organising a follow-up series for the autumn.

The events bring CEOs and CFOs from leading Midlands enterprises together in one room with some of the region’s most respected investors, financial institutions, funders and professional firms.

Objective of the events

Each event offers executives a highly time-efficient opportunity to extend their professional networks in just two hours, helping to support and execute growth, M&A and potential exit strategies.

CEOs and CFOs from leading Midlands enterprises will have the opportunity to engage with high-profile investors and professional firms operating in the region to:

• Help highlight potential acquisitions.
• Source new or appropriate funding to support strategic plans.
• Execute a successful exit strategy, maximising enterprise value.
• Improve the professional and advisory support their organisation receives.

“At Flowmax, we have been looking for channels to explain to the business advisor community that there is a future for their clients that many don’t realise is possible when looking to sell or gain investment. The Flowmax model of acquiring majority shares in SMEs and then growing the business in partnership with the entrepreneur to preserve its autonomy and culture, offers an alternative to the standard trade sales or VC approach. The Mid-Market Network sessions worked perfectly. The numbers were manageable making it feasible to make contacts and introductions, and the range of deal makers, accountants, bankers, lawyers and other advisers fitted perfectly with the audience with which we are trying to connect.”
