Our Corporate Finance Team win at the Thames Valley Deals Awards 2025

We are delighted to announce that our Corporate Finance Team were announced as winners of two award categories at the Thames Valley Deals Awards 2025 last night:

• Emerging Dealmaker of the Year – Jack Griggs
• Deal of the Year (£10m - £50m) - YFM Equity Partners Management Buyout (MBO) of Stacatruc  

The Thames Valley Deals Awards is the leading event in the region’s corporate finance calendar, bringing together corporate finance advisers, lawyers, bankers, private equity investors, accountants, and funding specialists.   

Stuart Williams, Partner and Head of Corporate Finance, commented: "We are incredibly proud that the hard work and dedication of our Corporate Finance team has been recognised by the Thames Valley dealmaking community. Delivering high-quality transactions for our clients is at the heart of what we do, and these awards reflect the strength and expertise of our team. Securing wins across two categories – including mid sized Deal of the Year and Jack’s Emerging Dealmaker Award – is a fantastic achievement. Congratulations to all our friends across the region on their outstanding awards! We’re excited to keep supporting local businesses and to build on this momentum in the year ahead." 

Jack Griggs, Director, commented: “I’m honoured to have received the Emerging Dealmaker award. This year I have been privileged to lead and support several significant transactions, working closely with exceptional clients and advisers across the Thames Valley. Delivering successful outcomes from complex buy-side transactions to full sell-side processes has been driven by real collaboration and I am proud of what we have delivered and achieved as a team this year.”
