The podcast's second episode features Rowan Associate Director Mark Fahy, who spent over 14 years with the London Stock Exchange, supporting companies on their IPO journeys.

The IPO market hasrarely been as active as in the first half of this year , perhaps since 2007.

We have seen 49 companies float on AIM or the Main Market in H1 2021, more than the whole of 2020. The pipeline for H2 looks equally as strong as more businesses seek to use the public markets to support their ambitions.

For an SME Owner thinking of going down the IPO route, or wondering how to facilitate that journey, this is an absolutely-must listen episode, delivered by a true expert in the field.
