Acquisition - Watts Group
Executed the acquisition of a new company into the Watts Group. Full involvement from target identification through to commercial negotiation and integration planning.
Having successfully established Watts UK as a new Group company, the next strategic objective was to expand both the product portfolio and the company's presence within the UK market.
I identified a UK business whose products, customer base and market position closely aligned with our long-term growth strategy. Rather than pursuing an immediate acquisition, I developed a collaborative commercial relationship to evaluate the strategic and operational fit, ensuring the transaction would deliver value for both organisations.
Following this successful partnership, I led the acquisition and integration of the business into Watts UK. The integration was completed smoothly, expanding the company's product offering, strengthening its market position and accelerating growth while maintaining continuity for customers and employees.
Ultimately, this led to Watts UK being nominated as the 13th fastest growing engineering company in the UK that year.
