Buy, Build & Develop Services

Increase The Value of Your Business Through Acquisition and Growth

Growth can take many forms. For some businesses, organic growth is the right path. For others, acquisition-led growth can provide opportunities to accelerate growth, enter new markets, strengthen capabilities and increase business value. 

Whether you are actively considering acquisitions or simply exploring how strategic acquisitions could support your long-term objectives, ESS Corporate Services provides practical, commercially focused support designed to help business owners and leadership teams make informed decisions. 

Our M&A Buy, Build & Develop Consultancy Session is often the first step in helping businesses understand whether acquisition-led growth is right for them.

The session is led by Ian Peacock MBA, Managing Director of ESS Corporate Services.

With over 25+ years of leadership, operational and commercial experience, alongside postgraduate M&A qualifications from Imperial College Business School, Ian combines practical business ownership experience with specialist acquisition and growth expertise.
