Deals appetite boosts hot M&A environment

Deals appetite boosts hot M&A environment Share Chief executives are hungry to grow through acquisitions, taking advantage of rivals that have faltered through the pandemic, and extending the record levels of deal activity sweeping the globe.

CEO Rob Scott: “When cost prices go up, Wesfarmers’ businesses do everything they can to keep prices down because that’s what our customers depend on us for.”  Bloomberg The broad-based sentiment is the latest sign of an active deals environment in Australia that has drawn heightened competition from investment banks and partly reflects the effects of cheap debt with interest rates at rock-bottom levels.

Family-run Beaumont Tiles franchise acquired by Bunnings

Hardware giant Bunnings has acquired the 61-year-old family-run tile and bathroomware franchise Beaumont Tiles. In a statement on Thursday, Bunnings announced it was “pleased” to enter an agreement to buy the tile retailer, noting the acquisition depends on regulatory approval. Beaumont Tiles is Australia’s largest tile retailer, with 115 outlets distributing across Australia as part of its network of franchises. If the acquisition gets a green light from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the tile franchise will remain “separate and distinct” to Bunnings. Bob Beaumont, executive chair of Beaumont Tiles, said he was happy to have found an Australian company that could take over the business “in a way which would look after staff, franchisees, the culture and its future”.
