As the corporate finance community anticipates the end of a subdued and uncertain period, the upcoming Rainmakers Forum in Manchester in October will explore the challenge of becoming deal-ready for 2025.

Featuring insights and contributions from the winners of the Rainmaker Awards – Nicola Merritt and Catriona Lang – the event will look ahead at where the deals are going to come from in the year ahead.

With a more stable policy landscape expected following the general election and some economic headwinds easing, the seminar will concentrate on several key areas:

• Current market demand and appetite
• Changing culture and practice in the Rainmakers community
• Funders’ primary areas of focus
• The increasing significance of factors beyond financials, especially ESG and data
• Opportunities within the North West market and Rainmakers’ role in driving growth
