SMART QUOTES:
"The acquisition-led approach is seductive, and it is easy for the wannabe acquirer to think that all that is necessary for success are a few ideas and the phone numbers of good firms of consultants and investment bankers. In these circumstances, everyone will want to do a deal, be it good, bad or indifferent, and at any price that can be funded. Remember that the road to hell is paved with good advisers." Richard Koch
