Group Corporate Finance Analyst | Glasgow

The Company

Aggreko is a highly acquisitive business, with six acquisitions being completed within the last 12 months and a strong pipeline of further potential acquisition opportunities. The acquisitions bring synergies to the existing business, representing a further step into Aggreko’s continuing commitment to drive sustainable energy solutions and expand its presence in the renewable energy sector.

Going forward, Aggreko may look to complete some disposals in geographies or sectors which are not core to the Group’s activities. Given the pipeline of further acquisition opportunities and quality of the finance resource in companies which can be smaller and less developed than Aggreko, the business needs a dedicated resource within the Group Finance team to work with the Group Corporate Finance Manager, the M&A Director, their team and target management pre and post-acquisition.
