Acquisitions can be life changing for people on all sides of the deal. Alicia Barlow shares her story moving from the corporate world to supporting the essentials of society through acquisitions. Also how doing this has allowed her to become the mum that she always wanted to be.

Alicia Barlow has worked in high-profile Finance and Commercial roles, sitting at Board level from the age of 25 years old. After her son was born, she realised she couldn’t be the mum she wanted to be in an employed corporate setting. This led to property investment, consultancy work and purchasing asset back businesses with an aim to grow in industries that are the staples of human society - food, care, and housing.

“A lot of people think about retirement, as you've gone, put your feet up on a beach, and you just cut yourself off from the world. And for me, that's not what I'm looking to achieve.” – Alicia Barlow
