In order to assist forwarders in making educated company acquisition


decisions a new portal... www.headfordgrowth.com


The Portal allows buyers to search and select acquisition opportunities by country and vertical market.


the Headford® Group has launched Headford Growth


In a market where it is becoming increasingly diffi cult to source the talent required for fast growth, more and more companies are looking at acquisition as the fastest way to grow their business and market share.


It often proves


less risky and more cost effective than taking on sales professionals. If the acquisition and earn out is managed correctly the buyer is pretty much guaranteed immediate results.


The key to getting the process right is planning your growth strategy in terms of countries, trade lanes and vertical markets.


The Freight Forwarding Industry as it evolves is seeing more vertical market specialisms, e.g. Aviation, Defence, Aerospace, Project Cargo, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Hi Tech, Events & Exhibitions, to name just a few.


This has worked well as it has allowed forwarders to have more than just a trade lane or country or region specialism.


Strategic Growth newsletter Headford have also launched a monthly newsletter,


which will be a round-up of the industry’s hottest talent and company acquisition opportunities.
