Merger & Acquisitions
AblesonHowes and Associates has a reputation for supporting small to medium businesses implement all the people issues arising from a merger or acquisition, to enable the business case to be delivered. Offering project management and support for successful integration of people and processes, AblesonHowes and Associates have a client base across Australia and NZ, with demonstrated M&A project delivery in mining services and manufacturing and distribution businesses.
Staffed by former executives from energy, manufacturing, telecommunications and finance industries, AblesonHowes uses the practical experience of its Associates to advise on restructuring, people assessment, employee relations, change management, leadership development, risk management and transfer of business administration.
Capability leading a function in one organisation doesn’t always translate to a new role in a larger merged business– more complexity, greater geographic coverage, greater accountability. AblesonHowes assist in identifying the capabilities needed following a M&A execution and how to ensure the right people are in the right roles.
AblesonHowes project manage and deliver all HR and transition of business requirements following an acquisition, including the employment contract administration processes.
“It is estimated that 80% of business acquisitions fail to achieve their business case. Our expertise and project management of integration processes and support of effective leadership helps deliver success. This isn’t about the exciting pre M&A deal – this is about making it work once the deal is done and the lawyers, accountants and financiers walk away” - Sharon Howes, Managing Director
