Today's financial markets place much value on operational and management focus, the role of old style conglomerates having given way to the private equity sector.


Many companies are still valued at less than the sum of their parts and, although the demerger wave has now abated, pressures in respect of corporate restructuring continue. The Cardew Group is highly experienced in communicating the merits of forward-looking corporate restructures.

Demergers require careful public presentation. The investment community is being asked to buy into two new entities, each with different valuation characteristics and different management. Through the development of programmes built around the framework of the deal process, we maintain news flow and focus on the key messages. Parallel programmes for the Press and City analysts serve to maintain consistency as the mission statement is refined and communicated to all audiences.
