DEALS AWARDS 2013


SOLENT Entries now open


With entries closing on Monday, March 4, and the awards night planned for Thursday, June 6, it is now time to focus on getting your nominations in for the prestigious deals awards categories.


For the past three years, The Business Magazine has held joint Deals Awards covering both the Thames Valley and Solent regions. But this year, responding to demand from our sponsors and entrants, there will be two big events – one in Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on June 6, and an earlier spring event in the Thames Valley.


The Solent Deals Awards will cover deal activity between January 1, 2012, and February 28, 2013. Judging will take place in late April.


Categories include: Law Firm of the Year – sponsored by Grant Thornton Lawyer of the Year – sponsored by Meridian Corporate Finance Management Team – sponsored by PwC Private Equity Firm – sponsored by Lamport Bassitt Bank of the Year – sponsored by Spectrum Corporate Finance Corporate Finance Adviser Corporate Finance Team – sponsored by HSBC Dealmaker (under £25m) Dealmaker (over £25m) – sponsored by Lloyds Bank Deal of the Year (under £25m) – sponsored by The Business Magazine Deal of the Year (over £25m) – sponsored by UBS


Deals must be geographically relevant to the Solent area – either the target, acquirer, funder, law firm or adviser must be located in this region.


Multiple nominations by different firms in a deal are allowed – but judges will not necessarily give extra weight to the number of nominations. Third parties can nominate too.


Judges are not just looking at the size of the deal. They will take into account deal complexity, who led the deal, mix of advisers, whether cross-border, completed to a tight timeframe, and a number of other criteria.


Tables are selling fast. To secure your table, contact Linda Morse by emailing linda@elcot.co.uk www.dealsawards.co.uk
