It will be a case of everyone waiting for everyone else to break the flat cycle.Another couple of other issues havecome into play, P.E. businesses in many cases paid very high multiples and are now sitting on high negative returns, so some of their spare cash is going to shore up these losses.In buying new businesses they will also have to put in more equity,no longer are they able to get high gearing debt support from the Banks. So in summary, many are waiting to understand were the Market is going, see some previousely buoyant sectors such as Retail are viewed as toxic and are in some cases P.E firms are still in denial about the trouble some of their businesses are in and therefore Turnaround is not on their agenda as yet.

Does that mean there will then be a rush of requirements for Interim turnround people? And of course, when should we plan this into our diaries / what should we do in anticipation?
