Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Ltd (LSE:CORD) Chairman of Digital Infrastructure Steven Marshall speaks to Thomas Warner after announcing the €97mln acquisition of Speed Fibre DAC, a major player in Ireland's fibre optic network landscape.

Marshall emphasises the strategic importance of the move, which is Cordiant's fourth significant acquisition and which solidifies Cordiant's presence in some of Europe's most promising digital growth markets.

Marshall also highlights the company's commitment to continuous investment in the digital infrastructure sector, particularly in highly prospective markets like Ireland. The approach involves not only expanding the existing network but also capitalising on upcoming opportunities, such as new fibre installations and marketplace consolidation.

He went on to temper expectations of imminent future acquisitions, indicating that while the company has potential targets in sight, it will continue to prioritise prudent decision-making.

Marshall also notes that the generally challenging trading environment is creating opportunities for companies with healthy balance sheets.

Belvoir Group PLC (AIM:BLV) chief executive Dorian Gonsalves speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after announcing that the nationwide property franchise group has acquired two financial services business in the southwest of the UK for a combined sum of around £2.1mln.

Belvoir recently wrapped up the acquisition of MAB (South West) Ltd following the conclusion of a deal for BMA Bristol Limited earlier in the summer. The acquisitions, with over £3 million in combined turnover, are projected to contribute around £0.6 million in profits.

While acknowledging sector challenges, he attributes their success to franchisees and self-employed advisors' strong performance, highlighting their resilience during tough times.

He describes the businesses acquired as "rock solid... that exactly fit our model."

Gonsalves suggests that while it is in the nature of the group to continue making acquisitions, the two acquisitions made this summer already equal the total for a typical year. He also highlights that he expects a high level of investor interest in Belvoir's forthcoming results, set for release on 4 September.

Good morning from London where the FTSE 100 has shot up to fortnight highs in early trading following gains in the US and Asia. And there’s more positive news from the British Retail Consortium, which says that shop price inflation has slowed to 6.9% in August from 8.4% in July.

Here in the City though its another quiet day following the long weekend, but Bunzl shares marked a jump in early trading as the distribution specialist raised its profit guidance on increased revenue and pre-tax profit during the first six months of the year.

Network Rail made the headlines this morning as well, as a new row erupted with RMT over the railway operator’s refusal to pay bonuses to staff who took part in strikes earlier this year. Airlines face another day of disruption, after an air traffic control issue on Monday caused cancellations and delays across several UK airports on Monday.

And in small caps, rising stars hVIVO have announced they’re moving from East London to the life sciences hub in Canary Wharf – taking full advantage of the cheaper rents available on the Isle of Dogs.

Willow Bioscience CEO Dr Chris Savile joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has embarked on a major strategic shift, focusing its commercial efforts on the BioOxi platform. To assist in this transition, Willow Biosciences has engaged an advisor to explore and evaluate potential opportunities. This move is part of a broader strategy that also encompasses a collaborative venture with a Nasdaq-listed biopharmaceutical company. Together, they are working to establish sustainable manufacturing routes for key intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Savile highlighted the company's achievements in executing successful commercial programs. Notably, four new programs linked to the BioOxi bio-oxidation platform technology were launched in April 2023. Willow Biosciences is now concentrating on partner-funded enzyme engineering engagements, a strategic shift aimed at enhancing cost efficiency and optimizing the pathway to revenue growth. This refocusing strategy aligns with the company's commitment to unlocking nearer-term and potentially larger revenue opportunities, particularly compared to its legacy strain engineering business.

Furthermore, Savile shared insights into the company's operational evolution. Willow Biosciences has completed a seamless transition, consolidating its operations into a single, cost-efficient facility located in Sunnyvale, California. This facility not only caters to the present needs of the company but also accommodates future growth prospects. With ample laboratory space, Willow Biosciences can continue to expand its collaborative efforts while maintaining a financially prudent approach, in contrast to previous locations.

The company's decision to align its efforts with the BioOxi platform underscores a commitment to advancing sustainable and innovative solutions. The collaborations and strategic partnerships in place exemplify Willow Biosciences' pursuit of transformative advancements in the realm of biotechnology. This strategic evolution positions the company for growth and impact within the biopharmaceutical sector, bolstered by cost-effective operations and a focused commercial approach.
