Having raised c£7.5m I guess they have some kind of limited timeframe in mind for completing appropriate diligence on whatever catches their eye, and announcing next step.

EDIT: Selkirk's own press release wording indicates that they are looking for takeover targets, plural. Kelso describes Selkirk as looking for a single company. Which is it? Does it just mean they'll be sifting many and selecting only one?

It's only an AIM tiddler, but it has some familiar names onboard and is looking to acquire one or more small companies or subsidiaries of larger companies. Initially in a target range of £30m-£1bn, within the Consumer, Technology and digital media related sectors, including retail, software and digital sub-sectors.

Iain McDonald, founder of Belerion Capital and former chair of THG PLC (LSE:THG), serves as Selkirk's executive chairman. The board also includes Angus Monro, former Marks & Spencer executive, and Alan Bannatyne, former CEO of Robert Walters PLC (LSE:RWA), as Independent Non-Executive Directors.

Selkirk has set its sights on acquiring undervalued companies, particularly those operating as subsidiaries within larger businesses, aiming to reveal their hidden potential through independent stock market listings.

Notable investors include Sir Terry Leahy, former CEO of Tesco, who is expected to hold a 10% stake post-IPO. Other backers include Ed Woodward, one-time boss of Manchester United, and Oliver Hemsley, founder of Numis, the min-investment bank.
