Page 9 of The Australian Financial Review today has a story about possible interest among newsagents for a tilt at Darrell Lea. Now is the time to register your interest as I noted yesterday:
Newsagents who would be prepared to invest in a consortium to bid for Darrell Lea need to register now. To get a seat at the table to consider being part of an acquisition we need to know how serious newsagents are.
So, without obligating you to anything, please email me atmark@towersystems.com.au with your contact details and the amount you would invest if the opportunity met your requirements.
I appreciate it’s a long-shot query. However, given the independent structure of the channel I need to get something more solid than voted on a poll before engaging a lawyer to seek to get a seat at the table.
This is the moment for newsagents to put up or shut up on Darrell Lea.
Footnote: they took around 50 photos and had to go with the one of me gorging on chocolate.
