Barclays Acquisition Finance

Article Abstract:

Barclays Acquisition Finance expects to benefit from its 1995 integration into the group's UK Banking Services structure. The integration of the unit is aimed at providing firms on Barclays' books with a more complete service including the structured debt products offered by the unit. It is also in line with Barclays' strategy of cross-selling, by allowing Barclays to sell ancillary services to the type of firms backed by the unit. Barclays Acquisition Finance has also set up a regional office in Birmingham, which Barclays says is not a token gesture but a necessary step.

Ernst & Young

Article Abstract:

Ernst & Young has made great progress as an MBO adviser but still needs to improve if it is to realise its full potential, according to its national head of corporate finance, Graeme Robinson. Ernst & Young has invested much money and time in the MBO market, and Robinson believes the firm now has a more equal chance with leading accountancy firms in winning MBO mandates. Ernst & Young has an integrated approach and can therefore transfer its traditional tax and management consultancy strengths to its MBO work.
