During this process, I identified the correct strategic partner and initiated contact and sold the concept, allowing for the beginning of a major acquisition. Alongside other shareholders, I agreed the outline deal and pricing, whereby I managed the transaction to conclusion.• After successful acquisition of Clark Thomson by MMC, I led the integration of the business, whilst also maintaining financial momentum by motivating a strong leadership team, and maintaining supportive relationships with Insurers and other stakeholders. Alongside this, I led sales and client retention activity including managing a small number of direct client relationships.
