Management Interview with Callum Laing - MBH Corporation PLC - 08.04.20

MBH Corporation PLC (MBH) is a diversified holding company which is implementing accretive acquisitions through an agglomeration methodology. Selected small-to-medium-sized enterprises are generally wholly acquired by swapping business owners’ shares with a new issue of MBH shares. Under the umbrella of a publicly-listed holding company the subsidiaries gain liquidity, scale effects and potential synergies. Unlike in private equity funds, former business owners remain almost independent with regard to management and
strategies, also gaining incentives for further achievements at their micro-business level. Because the businesses are managed autonomously, MBH´s management activities relating to most commercial decisionmaking processes for each operating business are quite limited. At the time of writing, the subsidiaries are grouped into education, construction services, engineering and, recently, the health segment-vertical. The engineering business segment has the lion’s share in financial figures. Within each segment, tactical acquisitions
are encouraged in order to strengthen services and potential synergies among entities (i.e. resource sharing or moving into new markets). MBH ordinary shares were first listed on the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange (Prime Market), which has easier requirements and access, and then dual listed on the Quotation Board of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) in November 2018.
