"The placing was significantly over subscribed and we are delighted at the market's response to the proposed acquisition of Azzurri Communications. We were impressed with the finnCap team in respect of their hard work, problem solving capabilities and their ability to help deliver such a great end result. finnCap has been a trusted adviser of Maintel since 2009 when we have grown from a £10m market cap company to an expected £100m following this deal and we look forward to continuing to grow together."
