The firm’s corporate finance team has been selected as a finalist for the Mid-Market Corporate Finance Team of the Year award alongside its CEO, David Kendrick, who is among the top candidates for the Dealmaker of the Year award. 

The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on 12 October at Manchester Central. 

UHY Manchester’s team has successfully concluded 15 deals during the year, resulting in a total deal value of over £350m. 

Peter Williams, corporate finance partner, said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted at the North West Dealmakers Awards which is always a fantastic evening to celebrate the region’s successes.
