A deal worth celebrating
The Insider Dealmakers Awards recognise the region’s leading advisers, teams and transactions, celebrating the work that drives growth across South Yorkshire’s business community.
Winning Deal of the Year (sub £10m) is a fantastic acknowledgement of the collaboration, expertise and commitment that went into the Home Decor transaction.
The management buyout saw the company’s executive team take full ownership of the business marking a significant step in its journey and creating a strong platform for future growth.
It’s exactly the kind of deal that reflects what great advisory work looks like in practice: close collaboration, clear strategic guidance and a shared focus on long-term success.

Recognising a collective effort
While awards are always a proud moment, they’re also a reflection of the people behind the scenes.
This achievement highlights:
- The strength and expertise of our Corporate Finance team
- The trusted relationships built with clients and fellow advisers
- The collaborative approach taken across all parties involved in the deal
We’re also proud to have been recognised alongside so many respected firms and individuals from across the region, with the evening bringing together the very best of South Yorkshire’s dealmaking community.
Looking ahead
Winning this award is something the team will rightly celebrate, but it’s also a reminder of what can be achieved through teamwork, trust and a shared commitment to delivering the right outcomes for clients.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the Home decor deal, and to all the winners and finalists on the night.
