We have been busy working in association with the FT to publish a major four-part monthly series designed to help businesses deal with challenges and exploit opportunities during the expected recovery, covering topics such as timing strategic acquisitions, planning for the recovery.
Specifically on the technology side, UK components business Premier Farnell is featured in the case studies and talks about how they have got through the recession.

One query that we come across regularly, particularly over recent months, is why strategic funding has become harder to come by for businesses – not just in TMT, but across the board.
While other sectors have seen the worst impacts, TMT has by no means had an easy ride. This has been compounded by a slowdown in deal-making between businesses and in investments made by private equity firms.
Barclays is as we say, however, ‘open for business’ and has signed and
funded a number of transactions for strategic debt finance in 2009.
To help businesses that are looking to raise finance in excess of £10m, Barclays has produced a guide laying out what areas are important to us, and what we take into consideration in reviewing business cases. I hope this might be of use to TMT businesses seeking to take advantage of opportunities in the downturn.
