Betaville

M&A hack walks into the sunset...or more like the other side of the world

So farewell Dan Dunkley, The Sunday Times deals reporter who Betaville has had the pleasure of working with at several different publications.

Some of Dan's memorable M&A scoops include revealing: the detail of Mediclinic's bid £1.3 billion bid for Spire Healthcare; Aveva's merger Schneider Electric; and unveiling Li Ka Shing's attempt to buy O2 from Telefonica for £9 billion.

I have pasted the links to Dan's scoops below:

Dan's heading off to New Zealand for a while and joining the motley crew of global freelance hacks looking for work (Betaville is also a member).

But don't expect the intrepid reporter to hang up his M&A reporting boots altogether. And you never know, perhaps one of Dunkley's M&A scoops will one day make an appearance on Betaville.....
