Private Equity, M&A and the Next Five Years of Broking
Session
2025-10-08 | 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM
Information
M&A has dominated the broker landscape, but momentum is shifting. This panel cuts through the noise and gets to the reality of deal flow, valuations, post-sale friction, and long-term strategy. It brings together consolidators, investors, and independent voices to unpack what happens during and after a deal: the integration challenges, cultural compromises, and where value is being created or lost. Whether you're preparing for an exit or building to resist one, this session offers a sharp, unfiltered view of what the next five years look like.
- What’s the current temperature of broker M&A in the UK?
- How are valuations shifting in the face of economic pressure and capacity tightening?
- What changes post-sale, operationally, culturally, and strategically?
- How are consolidators handling integration pain and people fatigue?
- What do sellers wish they’d known beforehand, and what would they do differently?
