THE DEALMAKER WHO
GETS IT DONE

A decade ago, Jon Graves graduated from law school and chose a different path - founding Northern Telecom in Leeds with nothing but ambition and a willingness to take calculated risks. What followed was a masterclass in growth by acquisition.

Jon has completed 28 acquisitions in 6 years, many of them distressed businesses rescued through pre-pack deals. He's built Northern Telecom & Soda IT Group into a £21M revenue operation with 87+ team members across three UK offices.

Now, through the Business Mutiny Podcast and The Acquisition Vault, Jon is sharing the real playbook - the mistakes, the wins, and the exact strategies that have made him one of the UK's most active business acquirers.
