An international mergers and acquisitions advisory firm has chosen Manchester as the home of its 海角视频 headquarters.
Marktlink is to take office space in King Street in the city centre in the short term, before establishing a permanent base following its first few months of operation.
The company is headquartered in Amsterdam and has eight other offices in The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Germany.

The firm added that new jobs will be created once the office is established and it will be a "springboard" to other opening across different regions in the coming years.
Deals Marktlink typically is involved in range from 鈧5m-鈧150m in enterprise value and number over 120 annually.
Jonathon Parkinson, managing partner at Marktlink 海角视频, said: "Manchester was the natural choice for our 海角视频 HQ as there are many medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs that we can support in the city and surrounding region that are currently underserved by professional M&A advisers with a true international mindset and network.
"It is a really exciting time to join the company and a great opportunity to assemble a best-in-class M&A boutique offering.
"Throughout the business we have up-to-date knowledge across all sectors and have delivered 120 deals annually, a figure which is expected to rise to 150 this year across our 40 deal teams throughout Europe.
"We have a selective non-volume driven approach which is guided by our corporate values of developing personal relationships and having a detailed and meaningful understanding of the businesses and entrepreneurs that we are working with and their regional markets.
"We are already working on a number of deals here in the 海角视频 where there is significant appetite from major European corporates in the Marktlink network to acquire 海角视频 businesses.
"We are building our 海角视频 team immediately as we develop our organic deals pipeline over the coming months.
"Our aim is to complete 5-10 deals with 拢2m-拢100m revenue level organisations by the end of the year and to recruit ahead of demand with up to half a dozen people in position within the launch phase,鈥 added the former director of an international M&A firm."
Tim van der Meer, managing partner at Marktlink Netherlands, added: "The establishment of the Manchester HQ is a significant milestone for Marktlink and marks a real opportunity for our business to serve the thriving 海角视频 M&A market.
"The acquisition or sale of a company is one of the most important moments in an entrepreneur鈥檚 career.
"By opening our first 海角视频 office, we not only give business owners access to an even bigger buyer and sellers鈥 market, but also to the experience gained in more than 120 deals annually closed by our 40 deal teams throughout Europe.
"With Jonathon leading the 海角视频 rollout, we are confident that his local expertise and vast understanding of the industry, will be instrumental in the success of Marktlink鈥檚 presence in the 海角视频 with many more opportunities arising for expansion in the months and years to come."
