Five deals in one week for accountants
THE corporate finance team at RSM has acted on five deals in one week.
As deal volumes increase, the Yorkshire team advised on a range of deals, including the sale of Barnsley’s Abode Home Products to Norcros, the disposal of Harrogate-based JSC International to $1bn-turnover ERM, and the acquisition of Burgess Diagnostics by Solingen Private Equity.
Earlier this year, John Forth and Steve Hubbard were promoted to the indirect tax and corporate finance teams in the Yorkshire and North East region.
The company, which rebranded from Baker Tilly at the end of 2015, also announced a major move to Central Square , moving 300 staff to the new premises.
They will be making the move in 2017 and will be neighbours of PwC after signing for 25,000 sq ft offices in the building.
Steve Hubbard, corporate finance partner at RSM, said: “It’s been an eventful start to the financial year with five deals completing in the space of a week. There is currently a good level of activity in the local market and our busy week demonstrates that the strong and experienced team at RSM is able to work on multiple completions simultaneously.
“Our pipeline looks good, and despite a challenging economic landscape there is real optimism in the Yorkshire market that the uplift in activity is sustainable.”
