To Our Clients and Friends:
Thank you for your continued support of Green Manning & Bunch (GMB). We are mindful that we owe our success to our thoughtful clients, referral sources, financing sources and the professional community. We are pleased to highlight a few of our recent activities and update you on our growth.
2006 was a particularly active year for GMB. Our Industry Practices in Construction, Healthcare and Industrials each completed multiple assignments, and one of the sales completed by our Consumer/Retail Industry Practice resulted in the largest Internet financing transaction of the year. We were proud to make worthy promotions and to welcome additional bankers to our team.
