With the new CEO, Aallon Group has built its own team responsible for mergers and acquisitions, which negotiates, finalizes, and integrates these deals. To my understanding, no new recruitments have been made for this, but rather internal role changes. These were also mentioned in the H1 report:
So nowadays, the CEO is not primarily handling these deals alone, getting their hands dirty. Aallon, however, already has a strong presence in every major city, and local players surely know the other local offices very well. It is often from this level that preliminary M&A explorations begin.
