Fees and fashions – on our premium Rainmakers platform now

Sitting down and talking through big important strategic choices is a big part of what we set out to do with Rainmakers.

Our most recent analysis has looked at the Martech and Beautytech sectors and their prospects for consolidation and mergers.

The Secret Investor also lifted the lid on the difference between advisory fees in London and the north – and the terrible fashion sense in the capital.

Overall, there is still a mixed set of messages coming out about the economy and the likely effect on the regional M&A market.

The first Rainmakers posts of 2025 provide a snapshot of opinion, including when we asked a cross section of leaders in your field to say what keeps them optimistic about 2025.

We’ve enjoyed bringing you Rainmakers last year, a steady stream of lively stories that seem to have struck a chord throughout the regional M&A community.

We’ve also brought you the cream of the crop in a Rainmakers Wrapped package showing the best of 2024.

It’s been a tough year for getting deals done, but covering this market is never dull.

These stories enjoyed by our Rainmakers subscribers are the kind of fresh, detailed and genuinely insightful content we are committed to bringing you. Don’t miss out. Subscribe today.
