Record high in deal values in 2015 for Liverpool professional advisors


Record high in deal values in 2015 for Liverpool professional advisors


""



Deal values of transactions made by Liverpool-based professional advisors have nearly doubled to just over £6bn in 2015 – a new all-time record.

The report, presented by Professional Liverpool in association with financial information specialist Experian Corpfin, detailed deals that Liverpool advisors have worked on both in the UK and globally.

Statistics showed that although the number of deals fell from 88 to 84 year-on-year, deal values increased by 97 per cent from £3.056bn to £6.024bn. This was largely due to the acquisition of assets of Holcim and Lafarge by Irish firm CRH Plc for over £5.6bn.

Presenting the findings to Professional Liverpool’s members on behalf of the corporate finance group were Steve Stuart and Jeff Cummins, lending director at NatWest.

Jeff said: “Liverpool based advisors were busier than ever in 2015 with deal values nearly double that of the previous year. There was also a big movement in Liverpool in deals more than £5m.

“The North West is one of the busiest areas accounting for 64 deals – a further improvement on the previous year which saw 54 deals.”

There were a number of deals with a non-UK element including the United States, Switzerland, France, Germany, India and Luxembourg.

Professional Liverpool’s Steve Stuart said: “The aim of the report is to provide a key insight into the mechanisms of Liverpool’s corporate finance market. Rather than simply looking at deals done in Liverpool, we take a different angle, examining deals that Liverpool-based advisors have worked on, irrespective of the locations of the parties in the transaction.”
