Acquire and Integrate Ltd

What Acquire and Integrate Ltd does

Acquire and Integrate Ltd is a UK-based professional services firm founded in 2018 by Brian M Stringer and Cyril Stocker, two former C-suite operators from large industrial businesses (Survitec, Doncasters, Siemens). The firm provides acquisition and integration consulting to private equity firms, their portfolio companies, and corporate acquirers. Headquartered in Stafford, UK, the company maintains a global footprint through a network of Director-level associates based in Australia, Singapore, USA, the Middle East, Europe, and China, enabling cross-border mandate delivery without overseas legal entities. The two founders remain operationally central to the business, supported by senior associates with 20-30+ years of industrial experience in aerospace, defence, manufacturing, and transformation.

The service portfolio is structured around four interconnected modules: Pre-Acquisition Planning (target origination, bolt-on acquisition planning, and multi-functional due diligence); Post-Acquisition Integration (Day 1 execution, 30-day integration plans, employee communications, and daily control processes); Synergy Realisation (6-12 month implementation of financial and non-financial benefits with tracker visibility and weekly reviews); and Restructuring (planning, PMO establishment, execution, and formal closure). Engagements are delivered by senior practitioners who embed within client teams rather than through a proprietary technology platform. The firm claims experience on transactions ranging from £20m to £200m in enterprise value, including carve-outs and stand-alone acquisitions, with disclosed case outcomes including a £150m EV integration involving 150+ recruits across 28 facilities and 18 IT systems, and a 15% purchase cost reduction achieved within 60 days on two simultaneous £80m+ transactions.

The business model is quote-based professional services with no public pricing, no technology product, no external funding, and no disclosed institutional ownership. Lead generation is referral-driven through the private equity ecosystem and endorsed associates (Digital WOW and Campbell Ventures Limited). Headcount is reported at 1-10, consistent with a founder-led boutique model, and the firm has remained bootstrapped since inception.
