The flotation experience
Article Abstract:
Companies entering the stock market through share issues may have special characteristics in the West Midlands region of England. The region is a major industrial center with both old and new industries, and management tends to be pragmatic and open, with pride in the region meaning they often seek local advice. There is a wide range of brokers for companies to choose from and these brokers also have clients from outside the region. The region has been affected by concern over flotations in the UK as a whole.

What happened where last year?
Article Abstract:
Mergers and acquisitions covered a wide range of sectors in the West Midlands region of England in 1994. Flotations included Slimma, a garment producer, and Partco and Finelist, which both distribute automotive parts. General engineering and automotive firms accounted for much activity in 1994 as did law firms and other business services. Transport and distribution could become important in 1995, and there were signs of an increase in activity in these sectors in 1994.

Championing the cause for Birmingham
Article Abstract:
Birmingham, West Midlands, England, survived the 1990s recession without large-scale redundancies and benefits from close ties in the community. The city's law firms are setting up links with the US and Europe, and the West Midlands region is attracting foreign investment. There is a need to develop air links between Birmingham and the US in order to foster the development of the city. The need for international links is crucial and should not be underestimated.
