🌟 Invitation to all Women in Accounting 🌟 In my work, I have the privilege of connecting with many professionals across the accounting and broader professional services industry. One thing stands out: women in accountancy are underserved. Despite women representing 45% of the accounting workforce, there aren’t enough resources outside of firm-specific programs designed to support you. That’s why I created the Women’s Accountancy Network—a community to bring together female accountants facing similar challenges and opportunities. It’s a space to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and foster connections with others navigating the same journey. The monthly sessions are designed to be interactive—offering opportunities to listen, contribute, and connect with peers in the profession. Our first session is on Wednesday, 22nd January, at 9:30 AM (online). The topic is: ➡️ “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There: How to Succeed After a Promotion.” If you’d like to join us, email anna@samsas.one. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to see you there!

How to become a go-to source for legal journalists 🥇 Whether you are a PR working in the legal sector or a lawyer looking to build your own profile, the key to media success is building successful relationships with your target journalists and publications. ✏️ So what do journalists really want from legal PRs? My student daughter Alice Welch got in touch with five leading legal journalists who kindly answered three key questions: ✅ What criteria do you have when choosing a quote from a legal expert? 💡 What advice would you give to a beginner in legal PR? 😡 What things annoy you most about PRs!? The answers were fascinating so do please read the full blog, click on the image below ⬇️. We will post some of the answers over the next few weeks. With thanks to: Edward Fennell, the legal diarist Jess Harrold, legal and professional editor at the EG David Opie, reporter, Today's Family Lawyer Eduardo Reyes, features editor at The Law Society Gazette Maria Shahid, freelance journalist specialising in legal, real estate and DEI. And Alice Welch. #legalpr #prforlawyers #lawfirmmarketing

It was lovely to see my article in good old fashioned print this week. Having observed that the appetite for networking still has not returned to pre covid levels and that this may be more of a generational issue. How do you find your network when people don’t want to go out networking? Thank you PMFORUM and Matt Baldwin

Translink Corporate Finance has acted as advisor to the shareholders of Clear Line in its £120m sale to listed Swedish acquiror, Fasadgruppen Group AB.   The deal provides Fasadgruppen, a highly acquisitive Nordic buyer, with a platform acquisition in the UK and a full-service specialist façade remediation and cladding contractor.   This significant international transaction demonstrates Translink’s ability to work across borders in close collaboration with overseas colleagues, delivering outstanding client results. https://lnkd.in/ejZuu-5y #TranslinkCF #CorporateFinance #MergersAndAcquisitions Kevin Davies Tim Brind Joe Briggs Fredrik Ullberg
