Vendor due diligence support for Briefing Media
Plural supports sale of Briefing Media
Lyceum Capital has backed the management buyout of fast-growing business information company, Briefing Media Group, from Kester Capital.

With the backing of Lyceum Capital, Briefing Media will accelerate its growth strategy through broadening its reach, rolling out additional services, international expansion, as well as through the selective acquisitions of complementary businesses.
