Ahead of tomorrow's Dealmakers Lunch, focussed on Buy and Build, Insider editor Simon Keegan welcomed Paul Billingham, Co-founder, Knight Corporate Finance into the studio. Knight Corporate Finance are sponsoring the event, which is fitting given they have had a record year for deals.
In a special video interview Billingham notes that some consolidators might have paused because of Europe and Trump but there is still lots of activity. He advises: "The companies that do Buy and Build well are the ones that integrate and are culturally aligned with the businesses they are buying."
