Childcare Seminar 2020Gowlings WLG, London | 23 March 2020 | 10 am - 2 pm

Growing demand coupled with market consolidation continues to make the childcare market vibrant and dynamic. However, providers need to have the right offering and ensure that they can be sustainable and profitable.

LaingBuisson’s third Childcare Seminar will explore these themes and present unique market data and perspective. It also sees the launch of the latest Childcare Market Report, co-written this year by Arun Kanwar of Cairneagle.

The seminar and the report will explore the key issues the sector currently faces and will explore the opportunity for investors, the operational challenges and the areas of growth.

• Acquiring in a market with increasing price expectations.

• Navigating through key funding and operating challenges.

• Getting the best out of acquisitions and achieving synergies.

If you provide services in or advice to the childcare sector, this seminar will provide valuable state-of-the-market insight.
