The past 12 months have been a roller coaster for the corporate finance world with the budget prompting a flurry of activity.
In a pilot episode of our Deal Ticket podcast, host Stephen Emerson talks to Adam Dowdney of IBB Law, Ricky Lane of HMT and Matt Gordon-Smith of YFM Equity Partners about how 2024 was for them.
The panel discuss how the Thames Valley's strong tech ecosystem continues to power its dealmaking activity and how Management Buyouts are increasing in popularity.
The impact of the first budget of the Labour government, increases in National Insurance and minimum wage on the market is also explored.
Our guests also recount their personal deal highlights of the past year and highlight market trends that they think will affect the region in 2025.
The Deal Ticket podcast can be found on all major podcast platforms.
