The tenth Gresham Midlands Monitor 23/08/2005. Source: Gresham.
 The Gresham Monitor is a regular survey of the mid-market sector in England and Wales, produced by UK private equity house Gresham. This latest survey looked at how the middle market finance business transactions and monitored aspects of their economic and corporate outlook and performance.
This is the tenth issue and was conducted by ICM.
With levels of optimism at a record high, the Gresham monitor confirms that business is booming in the Midlands. As businesses are seeing higher levels of turnover, increasing profitability and are expecting to expand over the next twelve months, there is little wonder that corporate finance is high on the board agenda.
