Expanding into Europe has challenged thinking paradigms on various fronts and also provided many new exciting opportunities. Although the principles regarding corporate reporting, financing and deal structuring remain the same, variables such as international tax legislation, reporting requirements onto various stock exchanges and understanding country risk are all exciting new challenges.
Given the early stages of our endeavour into the European market, simple questions like who we are as a company, and why Atterbury picked Central and Eastern Europe are asked regularly. It is always good to see the response when answering proudly and referring to the company’s current developments, rich history and various countries we have been involved in up to date.
Raoul de Villiers has recently relocated to Austria to establish the European services company. New employees, to be appointed in the near future, will join Raoul in the Austrian office. Even though it is still early days we are confident Atterbury will have a big footprint in Europe going forward.
