Backing commercial success with corporate skills

8th August 2019

Supporting the deals which drive commercial success, our corporate teams’ expertise and drive in a challenging marketplace have won them top ten rankings in national research from Experian across all the regions where we have offices.

We were ranked fourth nationally for deals by volume, as well as in the top three in the South West, the Midlands and the East of England. We took fourth place in the South East and ninth place in the crowded London market.

All this in a marketplace where dealmaking activity is falling – the report overall showed falling deal volumes and value but Jane Turner, Experian’s research manager, said: “While it seems unlikely that any substantial upturn is imminent, the overall environment for M&A remains reasonably healthy – the private equity market is still strong, funding is still readily available and interest rates are still low – and deals are still being made despite the turbulent outlook.” You can find the report here.
