Podcast: Billy Busko of Consensus Advisors discusses the rise of e-commerce

Listen to March's edition of the Middle Market Junction podcast. 


This edition focuses on the rising influence of e-commerce, and the struggles that smaller-sized retailers have had keeping up with their larger competitors. Discussing these issues and more is Debtwire Middle Marketretail reporter Danielle Randall-Saba and Billy Busko, managing director at Consensus Advisors.

Later in the podcast, court reporter Patrick Holohan provides an update on telecom services concern Great Lakes Comnet, which filed for bankruptcy in January after getting into a dispute with AT&T. The restructuring of security systems provider SDI Solutions is also discussed, as the company has a loan-to-own bid from PGV Solutions.

Finally, energy reporter Marion Halftermeyer finishes it with an “Off the Wall” tale of the Bumper Group, which has diversified its business well beyond the oil patch.
