Strong signs of economic turnaround from the latest half-year results. Energy company Contact, courier company Freightways and dairy producer a2 Milk all announced results yesterday. Contact's recorded a 44% rise in net profit and has gone into a trading halt while it begins a major capital raise to fund more renewable energy projects. CEO Mike Fuge told Mike Hosking the primary reason for the increase in profits is the investments they've made and the acquisition of Manawa Energy. He says it's a fine balance – no one ever appreciates the power bill, but they also have to invest and build more generation to meet the growing demand.

We chat about Nathan Winch's path to achieving seven-figure operational profit, which began with a university-era NHS supply chain venture that secured a large contract, eventually leading to their first profitable exit, which cemented the focus on selling businesses over long-term operations. Nathan Winch transitioned to Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) for accelerated scaling, focusing on business turnarounds for Winch and Co., emphasising that M&A requires significant financial skill and carries higher risk but is the most efficient method for experienced owners to achieve ambitious growth targets. The discussion concluded by covering the risks and personal liability in M&A, the importance of strong relationships in leadership for employee retention, frustrations with high UK taxation, and Nathan Winch's measured, wealth-preservation approach to risk management and business growth.Book in your paid consultation call with me via Instagram.
