Consumer & Leisure
Food, drink, cosmetics, clothing, home-wares, health & fitness, sports equipment, jewellery, greeting cards, social stationery, retail
Generally the key word with businesses in this sector is brand. The metrics that reflect a brand’s value are often highly related to the acquiring party. Once a product or service offering has been created and grown a presence in a market, the business becomes extremely attractive for ‘roll-out’ across broad geographies and into related market sectors.
Social Stationery - cards, gift-wrap, gifts and calendars
In the UK a large portion, excuse the pun, of the Consumer and Leisure sector relates to food and drink. Seen as defensive sectors in times of recession, businesses have fared relatively well compared to service industries where budgets can be cut. With the strength of food and drink related stocks relatively stronger than the rest of the market, larger businesses have maintained their ability to acquire.
Our experience ranges from soft drinks to stationery, butchers shops to body beautiful. A flavour of our current work can be found in our Rockworth Newsletter for the Consumer and Leisure sector.
