Take a look at our latest video update from Karri Vuori, Managing Partner at IMAP UK in which he takes a deep dive into the trends expected to shape M&A activity in the UK in 2024 and highlights some of the key industries expected to best perform:
- Consumer – while it’s a tough environment and there is a limited availability of discretionary spend, companies with strong brand value are expected to come out on top
- Healthcare – a super resilient sector even under challenging economic conditions
- Business Services – high demand, particularly for business providing critical services, such as clean energy transition, environmental consultancy, and white-collar services
He also discusses the role of Private Equity, sitting on dry powder that needs to be put to work and the impact their activity will have on company valuations.
