Welcome to the FRP Corporate Finance Summer update. As we enjoy the last few days of warm weather and Autumn approaches, we reflect on the last few months of activity, including our recent deals, new acquisitions and sector insights.
Dan Bowtell provides an overview of the current M&A landscape including current market conditions, sector trends (including the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence), and the outlook for the remainder of the year. Alex Patey takes a closer look at the deals landscape in the Travel sector, and Dan Salt explores how ESG is driving M&A activity in the Waste and Recycling sector.
In July we announced acquisition of Lexington Corporate Finance (Cardiff), followed by the acquisition of WilliamsAli Corporate Finance (Newcastle) in September. This strategic move extends our geographical reach into Wales and enhances our corporate finance offering in the North East. Our growing team now consists of 90 fee earners, including 25 Partners.
In August we welcomed Ben Hughes as a new Corporate Finance Partner based in our London Cannon Street office. Ben's appointment further strengthens our Special Situations M&A expertise, having previously led the UK Special Situations M&A offering at FTI Consulting.
