We are thrilled to announce that we have been named the ‘Transaction Services Team of the Year’ at the prestigious South East Dealmakers Awards. This accolade highlights our team’s exceptional ability to facilitate the most exciting deals through comprehensive due diligence, valuations, and transaction services advice.

The judges chose our team due to our outstanding performance over the past year. This award crowns a fabulous year for our team with 11 deals and a 20% increase in transaction volume year-on-year. This is a result of the team’s client-centric approach, proactive and enthusiastic team, comprehensive support, and strong global connections.

We are also incredibly proud of our Corporate Tax advisory team, who advised on Deal of the Year (£10m-£40m). Working closely with a brilliant group of advisers acting for Tribeca Technology Holdings, they advised on the tax aspects of the sale for the vendor and company to deliver the best results for the client. Their combined efforts facilitated the sale of Tribeca Technology Holdings’ entire issued share capital to Abacus Group.

The awards ceremony, held on Thursday, 27 February, in Guildford, celebrated the South East’s best corporate financiers, accountants, bankers, funders, lawyers, and M&A professionals. 

We were also shortlisted for Private Equity/Venture Capital Deal of the Year, Deal of the Year (sub £10m), Deal of the Year (£10m-£40m) and Corporate Finance Advisory Team of the Year.

Andrew Griggs, Senior Partner and Head of International commented: “Congratulations to the whole team here at Kreston Reeves. These awards include some prestigious firms, and we are thrilled to be recognised for our team’s achievements in the industry. It is truly amazing to see our efforts acknowledged  and a testament to the breadth of deal experience that our team has had throughout the last 12 months to have been nominated as finalists in so many other award categories. The team’s dedication to client care is reflected in these results.”

Craig Dallender, Head of Transaction Services, added: “This past year has been exceptional for our team, marked by several interesting and high-profile deals that have showcased our expertise and dedication. Being highlighted in the industry through this award is a great honour and a testament to the hard work and commitment of our entire team. Our full-service offering, supported by the close collaboration with our Corporate Tax and Valuations teams, has been a key factor in our success. We are incredibly proud of our achievements and look forward to another successful year, continuing to deliver outstanding results for our clients.”
