Partner Peter Terry, head of the North West team, said he was “delighted“ with the achievements in his first full year at the firm. He added: “It’s been a great year for Grant Thornton. I inherited a great team here and it has been a privilege to work with them on some fantastic deals.

“We believe this level of activity is market leading in the North West, and the team has worked on a range of deals across private equity, sell side and corporate buy-side.

The outlook for next year and beyond looks really positive .We have seen, and continue to see strong levels of confidence from investors, be they private equity firms looking to back strong management teams with a compelling growth opportunity, listed companies or overseas trade buyers looking for strategic acquisitions.”
