James Cowper Kreston Corporate Finance celebrates two award wins

We are pleased to announce that our Corporate Finance team won two awards last night at The Business Magazine Thames Valley Deals Awards 2026.

The team were awarded:

• Corporate Finance Team of the Year
• Dealmaker of the Year – Stuart Williams

The Corporate Finance Team of the Year award reflects our team’s dedication and the significant work we continue to deliver for clients across the Thames Valley. The award recognises the number of complex and significant deals completed in the region over the last 12 months, representing the full range of transactions, from sales and acquisitions to private equity investments and management buyouts.

Stuart Williams was recognised for successfully delivering three complex Thames Valley transactions, together with his contribution to the local advisory community and commitment to providing clients with a personal, hands-on service.

Stuart Williams, Corporate Finance Partner, commented: “We are incredibly proud to see the hard work and dedication of our Corporate Finance team recognised by the Thames Valley dealmaking community, particularly against such strong competition across the region. Delivering high-quality transactions and achieving the best outcomes for our clients remains at the centre of what we do. I am also delighted to have been recognised as Dealmaker of the Year for my contribution to the Thames Valley dealmaking community, and particularly pleased to share this recognition with the fantastic team around me.

Congratulations to everyone recognised across the region. We look forward to continuing to support local businesses and building on this success in the year ahead.”
