It is time that we see some real #cannabis operators seperating from the pack. When the green rush happened here in #Canada people were buying cannabis #stocks up like hotcakes. It was mostly over-valued shell companies inflating and #trading, buying up companies, laying off staff, mergers, takeovers,… busy work… Anything other than growing and selling pot effectively. They didn’t do the real work. There was this ‘weed sells itself’ mentality so everyone was happy to be brought into the game. Everyone was going to be rich. Even though they already were, and the primary goal at the outset was an exit strategy. Suits looking for a quick turnaround managed to get what they wanted. A good portion of cannabis offenses still weren’t pardoned, and those suits didn’t want to be seen in the same room as people that had real world experience in growing and selling. Five years in, that still hasn’t changed much. We are still trying to build an industry in recovery following companies that leveraged bad faith to put themselves in a position to sit in empty vaults. The investors are left holding bags of lead. Yet, there is hope. While all cannabis stocks seem to be intertwined, keeping the price low on all of them, we should be hoping for more of a recovery than a second green rush when they legalize in the #us and across #europe.. .. just for the bag holders to dump garbage on the next set of suckers. That’s the global play for the ‘big’ companies that are going around opening markets and moving on - is it a scorched earth method of doing business. That’s the play? Dump garbage boof on newly legalizing countries? Meanwhile… Some companies worked the markets that they started out in. They were diligent and decisive. They were fluid and learned how to navigate thier market. And ultimaly they are able to achieve year over year, quarter after quarter gains. Gains?!? Some companies in the #cannabisindustry seem to understand what they are doing, and are obviously good at it. Avant Brands | TSX: AVNT is a beacon of hope for those people that still have it in them to believe. And here is the kicker - they are massively undervalued at the moment because of the bad actors in the room. If you look at the numbers, which I know people don’t like to do when they are trading cannabis stocks, but if you do you can read a success story in thier figures. If you are looking for a horse to bet on for the upcoming second green rush this is my pick. They know what they are doing. Gains!!!! Still, I would suggest staying away from the companies that left people holding bags for the last three years and still can’t penetrate their original markets effectively. Thier numbers tell an easy to read story of unrecoverable debt. #cannabisnews #cannabiscommunity

CEO/International EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/ Board Member/ Amministratore Delegato/ Direttore Generale / Italian - English- French
It’s professionally and humanly very sad to read the latest news about The Body Shop and how such a great brand with such powerful International presence got into troubles. As read on several news, it looks quite clear the Brand was suffering of serious financial issues already since last few years. 2022 was pretty disastrous, with 71 mln losses and revenues down by more than 20%….but…there is something which is not clear to me as Retailer and as professional who worked for different PE backed companies. My questions are the following and maybe someone from my LinkedIn network could give me a clear explanation: 1 - how is it possible that Aurelius PE paid 201mln euro for a company ( deal done during Nov/Dec 2023) and only after 2/3 months decided to let the company file for insolvency? 2- how is it possible that Aurelius didn’t have an emergency plan to face The Body Shop shortage of working capital due to low sales during December 2023? 3- how did Aurelius run their financial and legal Due Diligence during and/or after the acquisition of The Body Shop? I would highly appreciate if someone from my LinkedIn network and not only, could give me some clear explanations because what is going on looks to me really absurd . In addition to that, I got the feleling TBS won’t remain a unique case of insolvency that we will see over the next weeks. Most probably other Retailers will be forced to do that…and it would be very interesting to understand who will be the main responsible for those painful procedures which will involve a lot of workers, families and so on…. In most of the cases, I do strongly believe market competition won’t be the main or the only reason…

Coffee conversations converting to results is just a happy perk of the job. When you're visible in the business and can have conversations with your colleagues, it can lead to great opportunities. There's a number of projects we're developing that have grown from "brew chats". Really pleased to see these steps start to be fitted on our latest vehicle builds. To me, it's also important, perhaps paramount to attribute ideas to the source! #Ideas #Recognition #acknowledgement
💡Recognise Quality💡 We’re proud of the vehicles we convert at CVM World and you’ll find subtle, complimentary branding throughout our vehicles helping to identify them as a CVM World conversion. Our latest Minibuses will now include branded side-steps from our trusted partner Stayco. This branding choice was developed from an idea passed through our Staff Liaison committee, from an initial conversation from one of our stores team Nathan and Marketing Executive Andrew. It’s one of many new ideas that have passed from the staff floor into our branding plan. While some ideas take longer to deliver than others, we’re really pleased as a business that we can build on suggestions from the team. #Minibuses #Teamwork #Staffliaison #Branding #CVMWorld #VanConversion

Accelerated Brands, an oil change and car wash platform, has landed $200 million in new financing, the company announced on Oct. 26. Monarch Alternative Capital LP, a private credit firm with roughly $12.50 billion of assets under management, provided the secured bank loan facility to bolster the financial strength of Accelerated Brands’ existing business, to provide capital for near-term acquisitions and to aid in the future growth of the company. Accelerated Brands continues to benefit from the ownership of the Princeton Equity Group, a private equity firm. Winston-Salem, NC-based Accelerated Brands is the parent company to a variety of brands within the quick-lube and car wash sectors, including Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change and Trademark Cash Wash. Accelerated Brands has more than 200 locations across 25 states, servicing approximately 3 million vehicles annually. The company is working to scale its operations via acquisition as well as greenfield expansion across the United States. The long-term, flexible capital from Monarch is seen as providing Accelerated Brands with the buying power to capitalize on consolidation trends in the industry while also giving the company the ability to invest in the integration and operations of its acquired locations. Navid Rahgozar, principal at Monarch, called Accelerated Brands a prominent leader in a vast, fragmented industry. “We believe the company exhibits remarkable scalability and is effectively implementing its acquisitive model,” Rahgozar said. “We are excited to partner with Accelerated Brands and Princeton Equity Group given their impressive track record in growing the company to what it is today. With a focus on scaling and new capital, we believe the company will further elevate the business and achieve its strategic goals.” Justin Strickland, founder and CEO of Accelerated Brands, stated: “Monarch brought a specialized value proposition to the table through its ability to offer a comprehensive and highly flexible capital solution that addressed our unique needs.” Piper Sandler & Co. advised Accelerated Brands on the deal. #aftermarket #autocare #carcare #quicklube #oilchange

It may seem futile to try and understand what the long-term impacts of the TSI/Mattress Firm deal will be, but there are a few key parts of the business that we can examine with a closer lens to get a better idea of how things might shift.

Professor of Family Business and Innovation @ Bayes Business School | Helping Leaders Build Thriving Organizations
Any M&A activity needs to include RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP test. March 27th, 1976 The Body Shop is founded by Anita Roddick, the eponymous campaigner for ethical products and no animal testing. In 30 years, Roddick presided over The Body shop's growth - Over 2000 stores present in more than 50 countries. March 16th, 2006, L'Oréal buys The Body Shop from Anita Roddick. On the day of sale, Roddick was convinced L'Oreal was going to be a responsible owner: "The campaigning, the being maverick, changing the rules of business - it's all there, protected," she said. "And it's not going to change. That's part of our DNA. But having L'Oréal come in and say we like you, we like your ethics, we want to be part of you, we want you to teach us things, it's a gift. I'm ecstatic about it. So I don't see it as selling out." Body shop expanded its retail footprint under L'Oreal but gradually looses its value proposition inside a large corporate which has competing offerings and no particular affinity to Roddick's cause. Other start-ups like LUSH once suppliers to The Body Shop power through market Jun 27th, 2017 L'Oréal sells The Body Shop to Natura &Co João Paulo Ferreira, Natura’s chief executive comments on the strategic rationale: “In a sense, Natura and The Body Shop are like twins. We have been walking parallel paths in the past, and today, those paths are converging. We both share a same vision of cosmetics, advocating the use of natural ingredients, seeking to use our business as a platform to raise environmental consciousness.” Nov 14th, 2023, Natura sells The Body Shop to Aurelius, a PE firm Feb 13th, 2024, Aurelius appoints administrators bringing the curtain down on a business which was set-up to do good. The Financial Times story unravels behind the scene mechanics of the deal. Why are we witnessing more value destruction rather than value creation? Rekindling 'the principles of responsible ownership' requires long-term orientation and this requires right ownership model. #stewardship #familybusiness #mergersandacquisitions
