with Julie Wilkinson
The Build and Exit team is thrilled to announce our partnership with Acquisition Masters. Having worked closely with the founders of AM in 2024, Julie is excited to strengthen this collaboration and broaden the scope of support available to acquirers across the UK.
Acquisition Masters is an exclusive community of UK entrepreneurs and business owners committed to growth through strategic acquisitions.
With over 612,000 UK businesses led by baby boomers expected to retire in the next 5–10 years—many without succession plans and eager to safeguard the legacies they’ve built—we provide the tools and support needed to help members acquire competitors, vendors, and bolt-on businesses.
Our approach combines a collaborative community, expert guidance, and a powerful mastermind network to empower business owners to seize these unique opportunities.
The Build and Business Exit podcast will include conversations, stories and real-life examples of day-to-day challenges business owners face, different methods of growth including business acquisitions and mergers, and top tips on how owners can transition from working in their business to working on it, enabling them to maximise their value on business exit. I will also include episodes where I share my own learnings on business management and how Wilkinson Accounting Solutions are planning to continue to grow through business acquisitions.
