Talk:Permira/Archive 1

Proposed changes
Hello, this is an account that I have set up to suggest small, uncontroversial, edits to articles related to Permira. I am acting on behalf of Permira to ensure their Wikipedia page is up-to-date. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages if there is a potential conflict of interest, so I would like to disclose here that these contributions are made on behalf of Permia and in consultation with them, and I intend to follow all of Wikipedia's guidelines, including those on WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NPOV, very closely.

I would like to propose the following changes:

Permira

 * Permira specialises in five sectors: Consumer, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials and TMT (Technology, Media, Telecommunications). There are currently 25 companies in the Permira funds’ portfolio and the firm comprises approximately 120 professionals.

'''I suggest we replace "currently 25 companies" with "more than 20 companies" '''


 * There are currently 25 companies in the Permira funds’ portfolio and the firm comprises approximately 120 professionals.

'''I suggest we replace "approximately 120 professionals." with "over 120 professionals." '''


 * Permira is led by two co-managing partners Kurt Björklund and Tom Lister.

I suggest we change "co-managing partners" to "Co-Managing Partners"
