Increasingly, Indian companies are looking to London’s capital markets for funding and a number have listed on the London Stock Exchange in the last year. The indications are that this trend will continue. BPCF has created a dedicated ‘India Team’ focused on progressing new business leads arising from this emerging market and have supported this UK resource with a partnership with leading Indian PR Agency, Perfect Relations. The team recently won the PR and Corporate Communications tender for Trikona Trinity Capital Plc from Cardew Communications and this success is set to continue.
Bell Pottinger’s account team is led by Associate Director, Nick Lambert, who said: “We anticipate DQE will have a very successful admission to AIM, and we are delighted to be advising DQE during this important time of the Company’s evolution and beyond.”
