The story

Acquisitions grounded in strategy

As M&A Associate for Halma's Environmental & Analysis Executive Team, I worked across acquisition execution and organic growth strategy in North America, Europe, and Asia.

I helped close two acquisitions with total consideration exceeding £100m and led commercial due diligence for Halma's £85m+ acquisition of Mini-Cam Ltd.

Building the case for investment

The role combined detailed market analysis with a long-term view of strategic fit. I assessed market growth rates and drivers across existing and adjacent sectors, identified suitable acquisition targets, and developed the commercial evidence needed to support investment decisions.

Creating value beyond the transaction

I also led and supported inter-company and sector-wide growth initiatives, working with operating-company management teams and regional executive offices in Europe and Asia. This connected acquisition strategy with the practical work of collaboration and organic value creation after a deal.
