Yorkshire Rainmaker Awards 2025 open for entry

You asked, we heard, and now, for the first time, we have added sub-regional team of the year awards to this year’s Yorkshire Rainmakers.
Entries are now open for North Yorkshire Team, East Yorkshire Team and South Yorkshire Team, alongside other new team awards including insurance, turnaround, and early-stage investment team.
The hotly-contested regional corporate finance awards will continue to champion teams, individuals and deals, and the shortlist and winners will be decided on by the community, as always.
This year we are asking all firms to submit a short entry, along with the key deals they have advised on, to ensure our judges have the full information when making their selections.
Please submit your entries by March 28, 2025, by emailing your completed entry form to events@thebusinessdesk.com
The 2025 Rainmaker Awards take place on Thursday June 5 at New Dock Hall, Leeds and tables and tickets can now be booked to make sure you are part of our celebration of the community.
Yorkshire editor Sheryl Moore said: “We’ve listened to the corporate finance community and the new categories reflect our commitment to showcasing talent from across the whole Yorkshire region.
“The awards are now an integral part of the community. It is a privilege to be part of the judging process and I’m looking forward to celebrating their successes on the night.”

Once entries have been submitted the shortlists will be drawn up in the usual way, with TheBusinessDesk.com hosting 40+ leading corporate finance professionals on a judging day. Those shortlists are then voted on by a wider group of people from across the community, on a strict one vote per firm basis, to decide our 2025 winners.
They will follow in the footsteps of last year’s winners including Carly Gulliver from Addleshaw Goddard who won the Changemaker of the Year, Rainmaker of the Year went to Richard Goldsack at Clearwater, and the Rising Star award went to LDC’s Anthony West.
