Organic growth has a ceiling. For many ambitious businesses, the fastest way past it is buying someone else's.

But acquisition is the easy part. The businesses that actually win through a buy and build strategy are the ones that get integration, culture and consolidation right, long after the deal has closed.

Join VirtualNonExecs for the next exclusive Boardroom Diaries breakfast event as we bring together founders, investors and advisers who've built businesses through acquisition, and the boards who've steered them through it.

Through an honest panel discussion and audience Q&A, we'll unpack what it really takes to grow through M&A, from spotting the right targets to making the combined business work in practice.

Topics will include:

-Identifying and approaching the right acquisition targets

-Structuring deals that protect both sides

-The integration challenges nobody warns you about

-Culture clashes and how to manage them

-Consolidation strategy: building a platform, not just a portfolio

-The board's role in de-risking a buy and build strategy

-Lessons from deals that worked, and ones that didn't

Hosted by VirtualNonExecs, the room will bring together founders, CEOs, NEDs, Chairs, investors and business leaders from across the North West for a practical conversation about one of the fastest, and riskiest, routes to growth: buying it.
