About This Video

Looking to build a £16 million revenue business in just two years? Jonathan Jay talks to Adam about how he achieved this incredible feat through business acquisitions.

Adam tells Jonathan about his successful acquisitions and strategies used to grow them. He shares his experience buying law firms and building a group with a £16 million turnover in the consultancy business and potentially £1 million a month in the legal firm. Adam credits his success to applying himself and being inspired by Jonathan Jay's story.
