  • Dealmaker of the Year – Stuart Williams
  • Transaction Services Team of the Year
  • Deal of the Year (£20-50m) – Norman Global Logistics

The Insider Thames Valley Dealmakers Awards, which was held last week, honoured the standout deals in the region over the past 12 months and recognised the wealth of talent across the corporate finance and dealmaking community.

Our Corporate Finance Team have been listed in Experian’s United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland M&A Review as the 5th most active Financial Adviser in the South East in the first half of 2023.


Over the last 6 months, our growing team of 13 Corporate Finance specialists have advised on 24 transactions over a range of sectors including TMT, Facilities Management & Technical Services, Financial Services, Logistics and Recruitment. 10 of these transactions involved companies in the South East.
