Event Summary:

Speakers - Andy Parker, PricewaterhouseCoopers Director and

Jason Wakelam, PricewaterhouseCoopers Director

Andy is a Director in PricewaterhouseCoopers Midlands Corporate Finance team. He has advised on buyouts, corporate mergers, acquisitions, and disposals for fourteen years, the last ten of which have been with PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Jason is a Director in PricewaterhouseCoopers Midlands Transaction Services Team. He has been advising clients on buy side and sell side due diligence, as well as refinancing exercises, for the past 10 years. Previous deals include CVC's acquisitions of Kwik-Fit and the AA.

It is a widely quoted statistic that 4 out 5 acquisitions fail to meet the objectives set for them. Why?

Frequently, objectives set are not specific, measurable or set within realistic timescales. Often the process employed in the transaction is flawed. Poor implementation of the strategy to integrate acquisitions is also a fundamental reason why objectives are not met.

Using case studies and practical examples, PwC will discuss ways to ensure:

Your acquisition strategy optimises the chances of success
Your M&A processes focus on the key objectives
Your post deal integration is planned and monitored
