The international dimension of Mazars’ global business was very much in evidence when the firm chose Birmingham to host its annual National Corporate Finance Forum.
As well as representatives from Mazars’ UK based corporate finance teams, delegates included guests from Mazars’ operations in France, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland.
Mazars corporate finance business is currently riding high, having achieved a record year to August 2015, completing over 40 deals in the UK in the last 12 months including the sale of Life Marketing to Communsis plc and the sale of Bullwell Trailer Services to Ryder Inc.
Nick Johnson, partner responsible for corporate finance across the firm’s Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester and Milton Keynes offices said: “A couple of days spent sharing deal opportunities and ideas with colleagues in the UK and Europe highlighted the wealth of opportunity across the business and several key messages came across loud and clear. The macro backdrop for deal creation and completion remains very positive in the UK and across Europe.”
“Delegates reported lots of disposal mandates, in the UK and overseas, looking for strategic buyers and also lots of corporate acquirers across the globe looking for great businesses to buy. It is a very exciting time for the business.”
Mazars is an international accountancy firm operating in 73 countries with over 15,000 staff. In May this year Mazars merged with German audit and tax consultancy Roever Broenner Susat.
