| Good morning, Hubsters. I’m Craig McGlashan, PE Hub Europe editor, here in the London newsroom, with the Europe edition of the Wire. Apologies for the delay in today's posting. Today is a big day for us: PE Hub and PE Hub Europe have merged into a single, unified PE Hub platform, as part of our commitment to providing you with a richer, more comprehensive view of the private equity deals landscape. It’s a win-win for our whole audience: PE Hub readers gain access to our in-depth coverage of European PE dealmaking, and PE Hub Europe readers gain access to our in-depth coverage of North American PE dealmaking. Beginning today, you’ll receive two editions of the Wire each weekday. First to hit your inbox is this Europe edition (formerly called Dealflow). Timed to London’s morning, the Europe edition is produced by the London newsroom and features PE deals with targets in Europe. Later, you’ll receive the US edition, timed to New York’s morning, produced by the New York newsroom and featuring PE deals with targets in North America. In a few hours, PE Hub editor-in-chief Mary Kathleen (MK) Flynn will bring you today’s US edition. In both editions, you’ll find the latest PE dealmaking insights, key transactions and expert analysis from across North America and Europe. Speaking of additions (pardon the pun), we’ve also grown the PE Hub team here in London, with Sophie Rose coming aboard as a reporter this week. Sophie joins us from Alliance News. You can reach her at sophie.rose@pei.group. To showcase our European coverage, today we’re spotlighting our Europe Outlook series. Reporter Nina Lindholm has compiled highlights from our recent series to deliver insights from Ardian, Bain Capital, Blackstone and Oakley Capital and others. Elsewhere this morning, Irien Joseph has a fresh deal to report, as Oakley Capital portfolio company Alerce buys a fleet management business in Madrid. Meanwhile, we’re not the only ones expanding our team. Irien reports on UK mid-market private equity firm Inflexion making a couple of hires. If you want to get in touch with any of the London team, please drop us an email.
