This deal was also nominated in the Large Deal of the Year (£25m+) category, along with the Management Buy Out of XYZ Machine Tools, on which Clarke Willmott also advised.
This year’s awards will be presented at a gala dinner at Bristol’s Marriott City Centre Hotel on Thursday, 26th June.

“The annual Dealmakers Awards ceremony is a chance to celebrate the achievements of the South West’s top corporate lawyers, as well as its corporate financiers, accountants, bankers, funders and M&A professionals, and we are extremely proud to have received four nominations this time around.”
