Benchmark International company sales specialist has advised Coronation Street’s researchers on the latest storyline involving the sale of Carla Connor’s Company Underworld.

The Weatherfield business owner Carla Connor has been considering her exit from Underworld and has decided to source advisors.

Director Michael Lawrie of global firm Benchmark International has advised the Coronation research team in all aspects of Carla’s potential exit, including, valuation, financial information and storyline.

Mr Lawrie said: “This storyline is very topical as we are seeing a rise in mergers and acquisitions in the UK, resulting in more business owners considering an exit strategy.

“We are delighted that Coronation Street decided to source our expertise and guidance.

“It is great to see ITV covering such up-to-the-minute, topical stories that help raise awareness of a service that we provide.”
