Company Watch has enhanced its corporate intelligence offering with the launch of UK Acquisitions data, providing greater visibility into recent acquisition activity involving UK public companies.

What is UK Acquisitions Data?

The dataset captures acquisitions of UK public companies, as well as acquisitions made by UK public companies of both public and non-public businesses. These events often signal structural change, shifts in ownership, or the expansion of commercial exposure, making them a valuable indicator when assessing organisations and their wider corporate relationships.

UK Acquisitions data supports both risk assessment and commercial insight by highlighting moments where businesses may be taking on new operations, customers, or financial obligations.

What’s included

UK Acquisitions Data is available within the Company Information section of the platform and includes:

  • Date of acquisition
  • Acquired company name and registration number
  • Consideration amounts, where disclosed
  • Narrative detail outlining the transaction
  • Direct links to UK company records, where applicable

All acquisitions are also surfaced within the Health Profile as an ‘Information’ notification, ensuring users are aware of recent corporate activity alongside other company health indicators.

The dataset is refreshed regularly and includes multiple years of historical coverage.
