Alliance Pharma to exhibit at Master Investor Show
Alliance Pharma plc (AIM: APH), the speciality pharmaceutical company, is
pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the Master Investor Show, held
at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London on 24 April 2010. Alliance
will join more than 100 quoted companies at the event, which attracts over
2,000 high net worth private investors and industry professionals.
Alliance, whose share price has increased 14-fold since the start of 2009 and
over 30% since the start of 2010, will be providing attendees with an insight
into the major performance improvements the Company has made over the last few
years. Directors of the Company, including John Dawson, Chief Executive
Officer, and Richard Wright, Finance Director, will be present to answer
questions from attendees, to discuss Alliance's strategy and to give details of
the major acquisition the Company completed in February 2010.
John Dawson, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Alliance shifted its strategy
in 2007 to focus on delivering improved profitability and cash generation, and
has been very successful in achieving this. In 2009 alone, sales were up 44%,
normalised operating profit grew 77% and cash generation more than doubled. The
Cambridge Laboratories acquisition which we completed in February 2010 is set to
give us another significant boost this year."
Robert Tyson, Chief Operating Officer of t1ps.com, organisers of the Master
Investor Show, said: "Now in its 8th year, Master Investor Show remains the UK's
leading investment show. The high calibre of speakers and sponsors highlights
why this is such a well regarded event, and with 90% of tickets booked, this
looks set to be our biggest and best show ever."
